And if a person place or thing can deliver I would quiver with delight

Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight

In frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)

I will see it through in time

And everything, is going to be alright

Through frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)
C G
All regressed and healed in time
Outro
Am G
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Am G
Said I, said I, said I, I will survive
Am G
Am G
