The Outside
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Aim for the best, but I'll settle for better
Good men don't run, no, no matter the weather
I'm quick to think, but I'm slow to believe it
I'm quick to give, but I'm slow to receive it
Forgot the feeling of having some fun
The wholesome kind like from when we were young
Always the same and I never was
The here and now and the yet to come
So come on
(I've heard there's victory)
Somewhere on the outside
It's never too late to get past the gates out into the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind to the outside
In darkness you find the spark of a light makes you feel alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind
Shunned by the village, so I burned it down
To get some warmth from that cold, cold town
I feel a little less resentful now
Ready to push a few more fences down
You got a God who can fit in your pocket
You got a dream you can buy from a store
And you're protected by suburban denial
I get the feeling like you're ready for more
So come on
(I've heard there's victory)
Somewhere on the outside
It's never too late to get past the gates out into the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind to the outside
In darkness you find the spark of a light makes you feel alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind
There in the hospital
Back from the fringes of the fold
Starving, but somehow full
Broken, but brand new burning soul
Nothing's impossible
On the outside
It's never too late to get past the gates out into the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind to the outside
In darkness you find the spark of a light makes you feel alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, open your mind
Open your mind
Open your
