Comes a time in every young man's life To muscle up and leave small joys behind Bite your tongue and close your wandering eyes So you can follow the lead Come to me when I'm alone at night Feel it burning as the stars collide Guide the way as they turn out the lights I think I'll follow their lead Run the cost of every chance you spent Decisions lost in their consequence And you can roll it off your tongue and let it hang from your lips Try to swallow your pride And one day they'll carve my name in stone I'll close my eyes and rest my weary bones Off to find another great unknown And you can follow my lead
