Fog and Fire

When I was a young boy, I struggled to find the peace
I did everything that I could do to find me some release
I wasn't like the other kids who saw me as a freak
And shit was going down, sometimes I barely knew how to speak

Hey now, so long ago
Another night, another place, another show

Down the road that never ends
The fog and the fire, ain't no time to pretend

When I was a young boy, I barely knew left from right
I stumbled and I staggered, I thought there was no end in sight
My head was always spinning and the walls were always shaking
And I was high from the sugar in whatever Mom was baking

Hey now, so long ago
When I held my head so low

Down the road that never ends
The fog and the fire, with every foe and every friend

Not to take life for granted
Cause every day's a precious gift
But sometimes when things get crazy
We could all use a little lift

When you're walking on the water
Everything seems so fly
I want to take this celebration
And ride it up to the great blue, great blue, sky

Now I'm a lil bit older and I've learned a thing or two
To get what you want to get you got to pay some dues
And as the sun is-a-setting and the big ol' sky is changing
We gotta find a way to keep the party of life raging

Bye bye, so long ago
I guess it only goes to show

Down the road that never ends
The fog and the fire, let's get this while we can
