I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
So when it came time to fight
I thought I would just step aside
And that time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool to me
It's not easy
Starlight's the gift of a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
But there's no now to tell me when
Would be the time that you would stand up and be a man
Oh, to lose I could accept
To surrender I just welcome regret
At this moment, oh, that I, I was the fool
It's not easy
Starlight's the gift of a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
There are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him now, it did no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him, I let him take it
It's not easy
Starlight's the gift of a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life, it's all a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
But there's no now to tell me when
Would be the time that you would stand up and be a man
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
There are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could, I would
But you're with him now, it did no good
I should have fought him
But instead I let him take it, the mystery
