Strange Days and Wistful Thoughts Are Afoot God Knows Why

Today when and once i awoke Much like any other day With no or other apparent reason After giving up all hope of hope And instead of wishing time would stop and for the end to come I felt something foreign the strangest thing as if a blast from my past As for a single second i remembered what i was feeling was in fact the sensation of being happy And somehow had been granted my lifetime wish Only for my joy to be tempered by the simple fact I couldn't for the life of me logically understand or comprehend Why ? Because i am still me the very same person that fell asleep last night only to awake today So how come all of a sudden given i haven't done anything deserving since dusk till dawn As i can't think or in anyway explain how i have gone from misery to happy The only thing different or actually changed Was i finally gave up praying and wishing for my prayers to be answered Maybe it's because i have eventually now exhausted both the patience of the living and Springsteen himself But hey that's life I was always told and new from day one there's a hell of a price to pay
