Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense

And I can?t always walk along the top rail of the fence

There are times I can?t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt

Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what?s ahead

With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed

I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight

And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
