I have been ungrateful

And I have been unwise

Restless from the cradle

But now I realize

It's too hard to see the rainbow

Through glasses dark as these

Maybe I'll be able

From down on my knees

Oh, I am weak

Oh, I know I am vain

Take this weight from me

Let my spirit be unchained

Old man swearin' at the sidewalk

And I am overcome

Seems that we've both fogotten

Forgotten to go home

Have I seen an angel

Or have I seen a ghost

Where's that rock of ages

When you need it most

It's so hard to see the rainbow

Through glasses dark as these

Maybe I'll be able

From down on my knees
