I've been a life time running Lookin' over my shoulder Everyone along the way Was tryin' to calm me down I was almost a believer I thought my time had come To sit down and behave myself I thought the old man had won Out in the living daylight Out in the living daylight Into the living daylight Out in the living daylight Well I've been all around the world I've seen poverty and war The whole thing is still out there And it's too small to ignore I might die tomorrow Or I might live another year But I make out I'm gonna go forever Things are pickin' up around here Now my feet won't touch the ground As the years go by Give me a simple explanation Cos all I wanna do is fly Into the living daylight Into the living daylight Out in the living daylight Out in the living daylight Here comes the living daylight Here comes the great outside Like a morning bird on the barbed wire fence It will not be denied So now I remember What I feel is what I know I'm goin' round the long way again That's not too far to go! Out in the living daylight Out in the living daylight There I was in the middle of nothing With red hot nothing all around I got down upon my knees Put my lips and kissed the ground Out in the living daylight
