Don't know why the day breaks in any certain way I can't explain the mysteries that plague us everyday Don't know where the road'll wind or why it does at all I just hope I'm ready when I hear that final call It's wearin' thin the days are long nights don't bring no rest Harder to remember how each day is blessed It's a long way when you're knocked down don't wanna stand too tall I just hope I'm ready when I hear that final call We never really know for sure what we think we do Been that way forever nothing's really new You're really learning how to walk every time you fall I just hope I'm ready when I hear that final call I just hope I'm ready when I hear that final call
