livin' with life

i'm thinkin' i'm 'goin'
from yesterday's hero
to the fool of today
from the kingdom of winners
to the clown in dismay
i think i'm understandin'
more than i need to know
afraid my understandin'
is maybe startin' to show
it takes a heap o'doin'
to see a thing clear through
its never very easy
doin'what you gotta do
