Bob Seger - Gates of Eden lyrics

I was in the tender mercies
Of the breaking dawn
I was somehow in a place that
Made me want to go along
I remember thinking all of this
Must have a reason
I remember thinking maybe I
Should look beyond

The night came on like thunder
Lightning split the purple skies
My whole day had been a journey
Sorting through the truth and lies
I remember searching
Longing for a deeper meaning
And it hit me like a diamond
Bullet right between the eyes

And I believed everything you said
Every paragraph and every word I read
Calling into question everything that
I believe in
Huddled with the masses stranded at
The gates of Eden
I was huddled with the masses stranded
At the gates of Eden
