Here I stand once again On the edge of right or wrong And I face the world a broken man Who's watched his dreams turn to stone? And I've played the fool so many times Now I ask you once again for your forgiveness If I only understood What makes you smile? If you choose to live your life Under that black cloud With no silver line Please forgive me if I turn And walk away 'Cause I found something better Tell me why does the rain fall down on me While I stand here all alone Now I've opened my eyes and now I see There are dark skies over Babylon Here I stand once again On the night so dark and long Put your faith in me now Give me your hand, please be strong We've played the fools so many times And I ask you once again for your forgiveness If I only understood What makes you smile?
