Wisdom or Weakness

Somebody must've cut my fuse A younger me would've broke your tooth Or at least took a hard elbow or two Until you dragged me away But I'm gettin' older now and I'm really slowin' down Or maybe finally learnin' how To fight another day Is it wisdom or weakness Restraint or redemption Courage or cowardice Stubbornness or shame I don't know, it all sounds the same At least to me, it all sounds the same Which one of y'all dulled my edge I used to bet the house, now I hedge Every promise a sacred pledge Along the narrow way But I forget the directions I'm still in need of correction And I was promised resurrection Or at least a sunny day Is it wisdom or weakness Restraint or redemption Courage or cowardice Stubbornness or shame I don't know, it all sounds the same At least to me, it all sounds the same Is it worth the fight Can we afford the price Can we afford what's right Is it worth my life Would you put up a fight Won't you pay the price Let's play it right I think it's worth a try Whether its wisdom or weakness Restraint or redemption Courage or cowardice Stubbornness or shame Well I don't know, it all sounds the same Man, I wish it didn't sound the same
