Cat Stevens - Fight Test lyrics

[Intro] "The test begins... now!" [Verse 1] I thought I was smart I thought I was right I thought it better not to fight I thought there was a virtue in always being cool So when it came time to fight I thought I'll just step aside And that time would prove you wrong And that you would be the fool [Half-Chorus] I don't know where the sun beams end And the starlight begins It's all a mystery [Verse 2] Oh, to fight is to defend If it's not now, then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man? For to lose I could accept But to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment Oh, that I, I was the fool [Chorus] I don't know where the sun beams end And the starlight begins It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides What's right for his own life It's all a mystery [Verse 3] Because I'm a man, not a boy And there are things you can't avoid You have to face them when you're not prepared to face them If I could, I would But you're with him now, it'd do no good I should have fought him But instead I let him, I let him take you [Chorus] [Outro] "The test is over... now!"
