Rock and a Hard Place
Here I sit now like a bird in a sling
With my eye on the sky and this folded wing
A dream may as well be a runaway star
If you don't have the heart to try to reach that far
But if I find the courage, will I lose my excuse?
What'll be left behind when it's time to choose?
If I find my purpose, will it ruin my plan?
If I give up the image, what will happen to the man?
Here I am between a rock and a hard place
With a stone-cold fact getting harder to face
If I want to go up, I can't back down
Can't fly to the moon without leaving the ground
But I keep rolling back, between a rock and a hard place
They say that this is what life is about
When you take something in, got to leave something out
You can't hit the wall if you don't go to bat
But how do I pick between this thing and that?
I run out of darkness with the dawning of day
But I can't see the light 'cause I'm turned away
Caught between white and brighter shades of black
I'm hell-bound for heaven but I keep rolling back
Between a rock and a hard place
Between the one I was and the one I'm not
Between the trigger and too long of a shot
I'll never get where I'm going till I get off this spot
Between a rock and a hard place
Caught between fear and some fantasy of bliss
A devil's dare or an angel's kiss
I can't stand this
Rock and a hard place
With my eye on the sky and this folded wing
A dream may as well be a runaway star
If you don't have the heart to try to reach that far
But if I find the courage, will I lose my excuse?
What'll be left behind when it's time to choose?
If I find my purpose, will it ruin my plan?
If I give up the image, what will happen to the man?
Here I am between a rock and a hard place
With a stone-cold fact getting harder to face
If I want to go up, I can't back down
Can't fly to the moon without leaving the ground
But I keep rolling back, between a rock and a hard place
They say that this is what life is about
When you take something in, got to leave something out
You can't hit the wall if you don't go to bat
But how do I pick between this thing and that?
I run out of darkness with the dawning of day
But I can't see the light 'cause I'm turned away
Caught between white and brighter shades of black
I'm hell-bound for heaven but I keep rolling back
Between a rock and a hard place
Between the one I was and the one I'm not
Between the trigger and too long of a shot
I'll never get where I'm going till I get off this spot
Between a rock and a hard place
Caught between fear and some fantasy of bliss
A devil's dare or an angel's kiss
I can't stand this
Rock and a hard place
