My whole life I have been afraid
I have hedged my bets I have played it safe
It's hard to face that I'm just a man
And all I can do is the best I can
I never give myself a break
Every good thing is either luck or fate
I'll sow the seeds when I find new ground
But the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound
Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound

Oh I am losing sleep
I've got miles to go
I've got mouths to feed
So when I lose this war with time
And I finally close my eyes
What will be left behind

And the truth is all I'll ever be
Is a shadow cast on the open sea
When will I leave that stone behind
It's just a marker of this passing time
I never give myself a break
Every good thing Is either luck or fate
I'll sow the seeds when I find new ground
But the the beat of my heart makes a hollow sound
Yeah the beat of my heart it makes a hollow sound

Oh I am losing sleep
I've got miles to go
I've got mouths to feed
So when I lose this war with time
And I finally close my eyes
What will be left behind

Oh I am losing sleep
I've got miles to go
I've got mouths to feed
So when I lose this war with time
And I finally close my eyes
What will be left behind
