VERSE 1
Wake to another chance
And another to revive
One more day to rethink yourself
To reshape your shapeless life

Now the coffee’s all done brewin
And you sit and hope a clue’s
Down here somewhere
In the failing light of the moon

VERSE 2
Hope springs eternal
Or so the poets claim
Faith in all charity
That feeds your sense of shame

And you wait the change of seasons
And what age might do for you
Maybe something more
Than the failing light of the moon

VERSE 3
Grace under circumstance
That takes your breath away
Saved by coincidence
That leaves you nothing more to say

And you walk past the graves of kinfolk
And their whispers of a ruin
Down here far beneath
The failing light of the moon

VERSE 4
God has another plan
One to finally find you straight
What it means to be a man
Just a mix of choice and fate

And you dream a dream of freedom
Wonderin why and when, how soon
You will fail
In the failing light of the moon
