Intro

       

Verse 1

I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought I'd just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong and that you would be the fool
(I don't know)

Chorus

Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery 

Verse 2

Oh to fight is to defend
And if it's not
Then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment
Oh that I
I was the fool
(I don't know)

Chorus

Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery  
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery  

Verse 3

'Cause I'm a man- not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
And if I could I would
But you're with him I'll do no good
I should have fought him,
But instead I let him 
Let him take you
(I don't know)

Chorus

Where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery  
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery  
       

Chorus

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery
(That you'd stand up and be a man)
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
(When you're not prepared to face them)
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery
(But instead I let them take you)
Mystery
