Текст песни Who's Gonna Be The One

you brush against fate at least once a day, at night you tempt the ghosts
of all the close calls, i can say love scared you the most
your mother taught you to be tough, your father showed you tender
but on their own neither one's enough
sometimes you fight, sometimes surrender

you're gonna be the one to save the day
yeah, i believe that's what you're here to do
but when the lamps go on and the day's work is done
who's gonna be the one to save you

you know your story and you know it well, you've walked with kings and bums
it's in between the lines you tell, that's where the real story comes
with a diamond cutter's eye and nothing left to chance
you don't let a soul get by without at least a passing glance

you're gonna be the one to save the day
yeah, i believe that's what you're here to do
though you might lose a step, you will never be outrun
but who's gonna be the one to save you

y'hear the sound the hardwood makes? it moans and creaks and it bites
i know those floors have felt the weight of a thousand sleepless nights

yeah, you do your best to change, they do their best to keep you silent
you can carve into your deepest vein and still be stranded on monkey island

and those who live by fair and just are bound to be laid low
among the few you still can trust, john coltrane, hank snow.
so let's just raise a glass: for them who time has frozen the page
“to days gone by, when men were men, and all the world was not a stage”

you're gonna be the one to save the day
yeah, i believe that's what you're here to do
but when the last drops of bourbon mix with the rising sun
who's gonna be the one to save you
who's gonna be the one to save you
