Another Go
it is just my way...the lightning and thunder
it keeps you on your toes and running for cover
would you want it to be any other way?
this roller coaster ride takes another go
it's the pull of the ocean and the deep riptides
it is bigger than life--but black and white
sometimes it's a cd that starts to skip
a surface scratch in the smooth vinyl
that wipes clean with a soft cloth
tomorrow we're strolling down another path
burying the pain and the aftermath
starting over...another new page
that's how it works, that's how we play it
watching it fly past with another go
sometimes it's crazy but always amazing
as we pick the parts that we are saving
I don't know if we can keep on going
as I watch from a shadow in the afterglow
tenacity and grace give it another go
