There is no understanding in this hostile age Sometimes I feel just like a rat locked in a cage It's hard to live beyond the walls It ain't no life at all But don't you tear it down Chorus: Take your chances, I'll take mine Chasing thunder is only wasted time Got no reason to walk that line Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight And with the years I've found a faith that gets me by It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lies My baby's left a light for me That's really all I need They won't bring me down Repeat chorus Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing You need some loving to make you feel alive In less than a moment, life can be stolen I know where I'm going, gotta get me there tonight I'm holding on to what I can Like any other lucky man Love won't strike me, love won't sell me out
