Lyrics

[Intro]
The test begins now
[Instrumental]
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
So when it came time to fight
I thought I'll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
[Chorus]
I don't know where the sun beams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
[Verse 1]
Oh, to fight is to defend
If it's not now, then tell me when would be the time that you would stand up and be a man?
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment
Oh, that I, I was the fool
[Chorus]
I don't know where the sun beams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them when you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him now, it'd do no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take you
[Chorus]
I don't know where the sun beams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
[Instrumental]
I don't know where the sun beams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
I don't know where the sun beams end and the starlights begin
It's all a mystery
A mystery
[Outro]
The test is over now
