Michael Mcdonald - How Do the Fools Survive? lyrics

Oh, I hand them this life To do what they will They've got to find their way from here Oh, show us the way If they only knew Oh, show us the light Show them what light? It shines from within You make your own day You make your own night And sometimes you win Oh, show us the way But you always get through Oh, show us the light Oh, why do they come and ask for more? They've got stars they don't have wishes for They're just givin' up their blame to me How do the fools survive? I'm wonderin' why, I'm wonderin' how They're gonna bail themselves out now Oh, give us this day I'm shakin' my head Oh, keep us through night Oh, I hand them this life To do what they will They've got to find their way from here Oh, show us the way If they only knew Oh, show us the light Oh, why do they come and ask for more? They've got stars they don't have wishes for They're just givin' up their blame to me How do the fools survive? It's not like it was before When they call I won't come running It was so long ago I left them on their own Oh, how do the fools survive?
