Looking over my shoulder it's a wonder i can laugh at all When i get a better view of the shape i'm in If i listen to the critics the future is a lost cause I might as well pack it up and cash it in In the middle of the madness a man gets tempted to negotiate Strike a deal sell a soul for the compromise Then a voice like a bell makes him turn around the other way The lesson cuts like a knife but the man survives Call an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more then the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets the more that i believe So here i go again Here i go again The wise man said most people die with the music still inside of them What a shame in a world so in need of a song As long as my heart has a rhythm you're gonna hear from me again (again) I got a melody or two before i'm gone Call an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more then the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets the more that i believe So here i go again Here i go again (and again) Call an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more then the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets the more that i believe Call an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more then the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets the more that i believe So here i go again (go again) Here i go again Here i go again
