Stefan Andersson - Rock and a Hard Place lyrics

Here I sit now like a bird in a sling
With my eye on the sky and this folded wing
A dream may as well be a runaway star
If you don't have the heart to
Try to reach that far

But, if I find the courage
Will I loose my excuse?
What'll be left behind when
It's time to choose?
If I find my purpose, will it ruin my plan?
If I give up the image
What will happen to the man?

Here I am between a rock and a hard place
With a stone-cold fact getting harder to face
If I want to go up, I can't back down
Can't fly to the moon
Without leaving the ground
But, I keep rolling back
Between a rock and a hard place



They say that this is what life is about
When you take something in
Got to leave something out
You can't hit the wall if you don't go to bat
But how do I pick between
This thing and that?

I run out of darkness with the dawning of day
But, I can't see the light
'cause I'm turned away
Caught between white and brighter
Shades of black
I'm hell-bound for heaven but
I keep rolling back
Between a rock and a hard place

Between the one I was and the one I'm not
Between the trigger and too long of a shot
I'll never get where I'm going till
I get off this spot
Between a rock and a hard place

Caught between fear and some fantasy of bliss
A devil's dare or an angel's kiss
I can't stand this rock and a hard place
