[Verse 1]
Here’s a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (What’s in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can (Surviving if he can)

[Pre-Chorus]
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow

[Chorus]
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Here’s a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands (What’s in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
Surviving if he can (But only if he can)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow

[Chorus]
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
As they took his soul, they stole his pride
And as he faced the sun, he cast no shadow
And as he faced the sun, he cast no shadow
And as he faced the sun, he cast no shadow
As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow
And as he faced the sun, he cast no shadow

[Outro]
You know it bell
Now this one's called "Once"
I wanna dedicate it to Bonehead who gets to do MTV Unplugged twice
There's your fuckin' once
