Ooh Ooh Ooh Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin But we're better off for all that we let in We've lost friends and loved ones much too young There were so much promise and work left undone When all that guards us is a single center line And the brutal crossing over when it's time Ooh (Well, I don't know where it all begins) Ooh (And I don't know where it all will end) Ooh (We're better off for all that we let in) One day those toughies will be withered up and bent The father-son, the holy warriors and the President With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see Beaten into submission in the name of the free We're in an evolution, I have heard it said And everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead The planets hurling and atoms splitting And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting Ooh (Well, I don't know where it all begins) Ooh (And I don't know where it all will end) Ooh (We're better off for all that we let in) See those crosses on the side of the road Tied with ribbons in the medium They make me grateful, I can go this far Lay me down and never wake me up again Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck The birds were calling to her, what were they saying As the gate blew open in the tops of the trees were swaying I've passed the cemetery, walk my dog down there I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer When I get home, you're cooking supper on the stove And the greatest gift of life is to know love Ooh (Well, I don't know where it all begins) Ooh (And I don't know where it all will end) Ooh (We're better off for all that we let in)
