You see me walking

I go here and there 

You hear me talking 

I say this and that 

But it's the front side 

You don't know the back 

I play the game 

But I don't keep score 

I can't win or lose 

It's just marking time 

I told my maker 

I'd live real good 

Just take away the pain 

I'll start breathing again 

And as I continue 

I'll try to do it right 

I won't hurt nobody 

Not even myself 

I'll hold out a light 

Let it shine for you 

If nobody sees it 

I still do what I do 

I tried to be happy 

What a foolish thing 

The gems of the universe 

Don't care about that 

You've got your position 

Just play your part 

You see me walking 

You hear me talking 

The sun and the moon keep rolling around 

There's nothing but a pathway 

Follow your footsteps 

Demonstrate your front side 

Don't even think about the back 

You don't want to be there 

The pain is what you lack
