 So hard to answer future's riddle

 When ahead is seeming so far behind

 So hard to laugh a child-like giggle

 When the tears start to torture my mind

 So hard to shed the life of before

 To let my soul automatically soar

 But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

 Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

  [F6/9]

 Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

 Sew up the wounds of evolution

 And the now starts to get in my way

 So what if life's a revelation

 If the mind speaks of only today

 So real, the pain of growing in soul

 Of climbing up to reality's goal

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

 Long promised road, trail starts at dawn

 Carries on to the season's ending

 Long promised road, flows to the source,

 gentle force, never ending, never ending

 So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre

 When the weight turns a smile to a frown

 So hard to drink of passion nectar

 When the taste of life's holding me down

 So hard to plant the seed of reform

 To set my sights on defeating the storm

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

(

)

 Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

 I'd love to see you

 I'd love to see you

 I'd love to see you

 I'd love to see you

 I'd love to see you

 I'd love to see you
