I'm no match for honest men
And I'm no match for liars
No match for those who have given up when they are feeling tired

Can't put me up against the man who lets his fate just be
I'm no match for those who love lord
And they are no match for me
I 've been a long time finding out all where I don't belong
And it's hard to say it's not escape
When I'm hanging right here in song

I love my dreams, god knows I do
And some of them love me
And it' s raging through waking life will prove
Loving dreams keep one youthful and free

Good god guides us
Bad god leaves us
Good sea hides us
While good earth gives
Good love fills us
Bad love bleeds us
Bad fire kills us
O, let me live

Honesty's a hindrance when you want to be what's true
You can be a match for me
I'll be a match for you
I'll stand here and shout it down and ripple with the strain
Surrounded by such violent light showering over this wide refrain

The roll of earth, the pass of time
As bad god leaves us free
Well, age may be a match for you
But it's no match for me
