0:16Big beat talk to me
0:20Waking up blind with the house on fire
0:35Well I pick up my guitar (I tune up)
0:39I look in the mirror
0:42It's like a stranger in my hand (the baby is crying)
0:47There comes a time when the boy must leave (get up)
0:50And the man has to enter
0:54For the soul to understand (all of the changes)
0:58As if it ain't hard enough this life I'm living in
1:04I was caught with my guard down
1:08When the world came knocking
1:11I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life
1:17Big beat talk to me
1:23I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life
1:27Waking up blind with the house on fire
1:37Is it something in my head (look up)
1:40Or the time of season
1:44Or the little boy in my hands (must be a reason)
1:48Yeah there's new meaning in my life (a shake-up)
1:52But there's pain and confusion
1:56And I'm trying to understand (all of the changes)
2:00I've been cut so deep but I can't make it bleed
2:06I was caught with my head in the sand
2:09When the world came knocking
2:13I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life
2:19Big beat talk to me
2:24I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life
2:56It ain't no perfect life
2:58This one I'm living in
3:01And I was caught with my guard down
3:05When the world came knocking
3:08I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life
3:14Big beat talk to me
3:20I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life
3:24When the world came knocking
3:29I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life
3:35Big beat talk to me
3:40I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life
3:45When the world came knocking
Big beat talk to me Waking up blind with the house on fire Well I pick up my guitar (I tune up) I look in the mirror It's like a stranger in my hand (the baby is crying) There comes a time when the boy must leave (get up) And the man has to enter For the soul to understand (all of the changes) As if it ain't hard enough this life I'm living in I was caught with my guard down When the world came knocking I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life Big beat talk to me I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life Waking up blind with the house on fire Is it something in my head (look up) Or the time of season Or the little boy in my hands (must be a reason) Yeah there's new meaning in my life (a shake-up) But there's pain and confusion And I'm trying to understand (all of the changes) I've been cut so deep but I can't make it bleed I was caught with my head in the sand When the world came knocking I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life Big beat talk to me I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life It ain't no perfect life This one I'm living in And I was caught with my guard down When the world came knocking I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life Big beat talk to me I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life When the world came knocking I feel the big beat the Rock Of Life Big beat talk to me I feel the back beat the Rock Of Life When the world came knocking
