I know the way our stories like to unfold Keeps us walking on the tip of our toes Life is full of surprise And as a boy-child Chasing fantasy of true love I never thought that I'd be chewed up By an ending so wild Ain't it something not to know Ain't it something not to see What they never teach in school How to roll up both your sleeves When the wild side of life Keeps you crying on your knees Ain't it something not to know And despite it, still believe Save me Set my mind on something holy 'Cause this ground is shaking under my feet My faith is good as gone Won't you raise me So won't you raise me I never thought I'd walk this valley Well, ain't it something how we break in the breeze Well, I don't wanna break that way So ain't it something not to know Ain't it something not to see What they never teach in school How to roll up both your sleeves When the wild side of life Keeps you crying on your knees Ain't it something not to know And despite it, still believe I wanna believe I wanna believe Whether I know the road or I'm drifting at sea I wanna believe I wanna believe That I'm never alone That you will never leave I wanna believe Ain't it something not to know Ain't it something not to see What they never teach in school How to roll up both your sleeves When the wild side of life Keeps you crying on your knees Ain't it something not to know And despite it, still believe And despite it, still believe
