Fight Test
Facing Life's Mysteries: A Reflection on Choices and Regrets
Lyrics
The test begins, now
The beginning of a challenging situation or trial.
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
Initial belief in one's intelligence and correctness.
I thought it better not to fight, I thought there was a
Avoidance of conflict, thinking it's better not to fight.
Virtue in always being cool, so when it came time to
Valuing the virtue of staying composed and detached.
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
Choosing not to confront, expecting time to prove a point.
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool
Anticipating that time will show the other person's mistake.
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Uncertainty about the boundary between optimism and reality.
Lights begins it's all a mystery
Reflecting on life's mysteries and the unknown.
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Defending is equivalent to fighting, questioning the necessity.
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
Challenging the idea of standing up and being a man.
And be a man, for to lose I could accept but to surrender
Accepting loss is easier than surrendering; expressing regret.
I just wept and regretted this moment, oh that I, I
Regretting a moment of inaction and feeling foolish.
Was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
-Lights begins it's all a mystery
-And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Expressing uncertainty about how a person decides what's right.
Own life, it's all a mystery
Life's choices are mysterious and unclear.
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
Distinguishing between manhood and avoiding inevitable challenges.
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
Facing unavoidable challenges even when unprepared.
To face them,
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
Expressing a desire to intervene but recognizing futility.
I should have fought him but instead I let him, I let
Regretting the decision to let someone else take control.
Him take it
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
-Lights begins it's all a mystery
-And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
-Own life, it's all a mystery
-The test is over, now
Conclusion of the test or challenging situation.
