RIDER

When I was younger

I could ride like the movies

And the heroes all knew me

And were all on one side

Wondered to get older

And did I stop believing

I don't know what's coming

But I'll be able to ride

They used to tell me

Oh man you'd be perfect

A stunning believer

An angel if only

You knew how to ride

She never taught me

How to be a woman

Shame was the loudest coin in our cup

Time gives you answer

Not to soothe or just to fall

More like a river overrunning

That'll someday find us all

They used to tell me

Oh man you'd be perfect

A stunning believer

An angel if only

You knew how to ride

I never came to jesus but i feel like i knew him

And I never withdrew from that god-given love

Bathed in the moonlight

But I had an off-night

When something don't feel right

In the stars up above

Somewhere someone told me

If you'd only stop complaining

Time will do the healing

Do a little reining in

Then I'd know how to ride

Then I'd be perfect

A flawless believer

An angel if only

But you really don't know me

I know how to ride
