In a couple of hours

The morning is coming

And I'm hittin' the door runnin,

The gasoline is burning

And I couldn't explain why

The message that I have been given

Could have us drown

In the river

Still I gotta deliver it

And I couldn't explain why

I hold a couple of grudges

Could have had a couple of touches

If I hadn't had a couple of crutches

And I couldn't explain why

The world keeps turning

The sun keeps burning

For all to learn what

Heavens only knows

Why do some

Get taken too young

All these answers

That heaven only knows

The wheels are turning

Churching all types of emotion

Strong as the oceans

And I couldn't explain why

This message that I have been given

Could have me drown by the river

Still I gotta deliver it

And I couldn't explain why

I hold a couple of grudges

Could have had a couple of touches

If I hadn't had a couple on crutches

And I couldn't explain why
