I have been ungrateful, I've been unwise. Restless from the cradle, Now I realize, It's so hard to see the rainbow, Through glasses dark as these. Maybe I'll be able, From now on, on my knees.
Oh, I am weak. Oh, I know I am vain. Take this weight from me, Let my spirit be unchained.
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk, I'm overcome. Seems that we've both forgotten, Forgotten to go home. Have I seen an angel? Oh, have I seen a ghost? Where's that rock of ages, When I need it most?
Oh, I am weak. Oh, I know I am vain. Take this weight from me, Let my spirit be unchained.
