I WILL

I will start another day, like every day before it
I will part my way with hate, and struggle to ignore it
I will sleep the sleep of reason, though the sky be stormy
I will play my bad guitar, because I can this morning.

I will

I will

I will

I will.

I will build this wall around me,
I will make this fortress strong
I will give this all around me,
I will burn a candle all night long,
I will burn this candle all night long.

I will give this loveless life, because this life is my life
I will turn the page in time, because this life is my right
I will love a girl named Shelly, though it can't be real love
I will go that bridge too far, when push comes to shove.

I will

I will

I will -

I will.

I will build this wall around me,
I will make this fortress strong
I will give this all around me,
I will burn a candle all night long,
I will burn this candle all night long.

I will not be victimized, Saddam-ized, or down-sized,
I will not legitimize a lie like God's on my side
(God's on our side)
I will sleep the sleep of reason, though the sky be stormy
I will try 'n' I might fail, but I give you fair warning.

I will

I will

I will -

I will.

I will build this wall around me,
I will make this fortress strong
I will give this all around me,
I will burn a candle all night long,
I will burn this candle all night long.

I will start another day, like every day before it
I will hold on to this hate, and struggle to ignore it
I will lay my burden down, but not before my brother's
I will rise up from the wreckage, I can do no other.

I will

I will

I will -

I will.

I will build this wall around me,
I will make this fortress strong
I will give this all around me,
I will burn a candle all night long,
I will burn this candle all night long.
