Lyrics
I roamed the world for love and glory
I traveled the world seeking love and glory
Full-time ambassador of mirth
I devoted myself entirely to spreading joy
I never thought that I'd be sorry
I never anticipated regretting my choices
To squander most of my true worth
Realizing I wasted much of my true value
The sun beats down on the valley
The sun shines intensely on the valley
The waves crash on the shore
The waves forcefully crash onto the shore
I was a soldier of the alley
I used to be a fighter in the streets
I cannot fight there anymore
Now, I can no longer engage in that battle
So now I just wait for the hour
Now, I patiently wait for a significant moment
Lips parted like a kiss
My lips are parted, perhaps in anticipation or readiness
I just assume there is a power
I assume there is a higher power
Who can deliver me from this
Capable of delivering me from my current state
The sun beats down on the valley
The sun continues to shine on the valley
The waves crash on the shore
The waves persistently crash on the shore
I was a soldier of the alley
I used to be a warrior in the streets
I cannot fight there anymore
Yet, I can no longer partake in that struggle
They say that love is like a flower
They say love is like a graceful flower
That bows so graceful to the light
Bowing to the light with elegance
But I've seen most true love go sour
But I've witnessed genuine love turn bitter
Then blossom in the dead of night
Blossoming unexpectedly in the darkness
I can't be certain of the hour
I am uncertain about the timing
Or who will bear that final kiss
Or who will be the bearer of the final kiss
I must assume there is a power
I must assume there is a higher power
Who can deliver me from this
Able to rescue me from my current predicament
The sun beats down on the valley
The sun relentlessly beats down on the valley
The waves crash on the shore
The waves persist in crashing on the shore
I was a soldier of the alley
I used to be a combatant in the streets
I cannot fight there anymore
Yet, I am unable to continue that fight
To roam the world for love and glory
To wander the world seeking love and glory
To roam the world at all
To explore the world in its entirety
Who would have thought that I'd be sorry
Unexpectedly, I find myself regretful
To squander it all
Regretting the squandering of it all
The sun beats down on the valley
The sun beats down relentlessly on the valley
The waves push up against the shore
The waves forcefully push against the shore
I was a soldier on the alley
I used to be a warrior in the streets
I cannot fight there anymore
But I can no longer engage in that battle
