Sooner Or Later

Well, I tried to warn you, now I'm pulling out thorns

For going down with you in the eye of the storm

There ain't no lesson unless you want to learn

Sooner or later everybody gets burned

Sooner or later everybody gets their turn

Sooner or later everybody gets burned

Best you can hope for is to be worth the scars

Mounted beggars race steeds, but they never get far

If you want a lesson, better lessen your load

Sooner or later everybody gets told

Sooner or later everybody feels bold

Sooner or later everybody gets told

There ain't no love that don't exist in the wild

Ain't no tears like a motherless child's

Ain't no lesson unless you're getting spurned

Sooner or later everybody gets burned

Sooner or later everybody gets their turn

Sooner or later everybody gets burned

And the burden of the blessing

When you're the last man standing

Is to pick up all the pieces and carry on

And the gift that you've been given

Is, in fact, to keep on living

Share all those memories and pass the lessons along, yeah

Your house is haunted by the ghosts of its past

Try to make peace with every breath that you cast

Always a lesson, listen up while you can

Sooner or later everybody makes a stand

Sooner or later gonna have to have a plan

Sooner or later gonna have to take a stand
