The Odds of Getting Even

What are the odds of getting even?

What is the cost of dreaming?

I've carried the cross of believing

Asking God for a reason

Counted the days I waited

Shuffling cards, cleaning tables

If I got a heart I gotta play it

You only feel it when it's racing

Come the morning I'll be leaving

It's too late in the evening

To play the odds of getting even

There is a field, I gotta find it

There is this horse running wild

And every night I run beside it

And someday I'm gonna ride it

Out in the air, out in the moonlight

You'll be a flash in the back of my mind

Placing your bets, watching the mud fly

Rolling your dice back on the sidelines

Come the morning I'll be leaving

It's too late in the evening

To play the odds of getting even

But the cracks will keep on growing

And I hear they don't let no one

Carry a grudge where I'm going

I don't have time for crying

I might be falling or flying

I might be water or lightning

When I watch the gold sun rising

Come the morning I'll be leaving

It's too late in the evening

To play the odds of getting even

Can't you feel the ground turning?

Can't you feel the hours burning?

Oh the odds of getting even
