I've been outside the palace I've been outside the gate I still don't feel I made any mistake When I got off that train I felt my feet hit the ground I didn't want to go where that gravy train was bound GOD help me to see I've been loved all along And not get too confused between the moonlight and the dawn If I go back to the palace I'll walk right thru' the gate Nobody knows how much here was at stake I might get on that train, feel the wheel on the track Move it up the mountain like a foregone fact GOD help me to know I've been in love my whole life And not to get so confused between the struggle and the strife
