Oh to fight is to defend if it's not

Was the fool
[Chorus]

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
