  • Wide awake and feeling mortal
    At this moment in the dream
    That old man there in the mirror
    And my shaky self-esteem

    Here today and gone tomorrow
    That’s the way it’s got to be
    With an empty blue horizon
    For as far as I can see

    [Chorus]
    God Almighty here I am
    Am I where I ought to be
    I’ve begun to soon descend
    Like the sun into the sea
    And I thank my lucky stars
    From here to eternity
    For the artist that you are
    And the man you made of me

    Pretty speeches still unspoken
    Perfect circles in the sand
    Rules and promises I’ve broken
    That I still don’t understand

    Soon or later I’ll be leaving
    I’m a winner either way
    For the laughter and the loving
    That I’m living with today

    [Chorus]
