Every now and then there stands a man beside me
He's standing right beside me but he's not there
I look him in the eyes, they're the eyes of a stranger

I keep running, man, this ain't fair
Every now and then I see
All the world has given me
Ain't that what life's all about?
Got to struggle to be free
Set your mind on higher things
Get in, win, and then get out
Every now and then there stands a man behind me
He's standing right behind me but I'm not there
He looks me in the eyes, they're the eyes of a stranger
I'm not running, man, I'm not scared
Now the problem seems to be
All the time for you and me
Well, ain't that what life's all about?
Got to struggle to be free
Set your mind on higher things
Get in, win, and then get out
