Ahhhhhhhooooooo!
I wanna be inspired
And not plagued by doubt
Can't make it rain
When I'm in a draught
So I was shutting down,
When I thought of you friend
Out there on your own
Doin' what you do again
Don't know how you do it again
Don't know how you do it again
Don't know how you do it
And I'm prayin' you've got
A sturdy gate and a strong lock
And that all the lights are on
And I hope that you fear not
When outside the darkness roars
Yes, I'm trusting you may,
As I've often heard you say,
"Keep the howling wolves at bay"
When they're just outside your door
Ahhhhhhhooooooo!
Don't know how you do it
It's the same old song,
But tonight it's new
And you still move
Like you always do
And it's the same hard road
That may never end
Out there on your own
Doin' what you do again
Don't know how you do it again
Don't know how you do it again
Don't know how you do it
And your smiling now
At familiar faces
Not the miles, the years
Can remove the traces
Of the kids you use to be
Or those wondrous times and places
Back when the wolves were easy to ignore
Now they growl and gather just outside your door
Don't know how you do it
And I'm prayin' you've got
A sturdy gate and a strong lock
And that all the lights are on
And I hope that you fear not
When outside the darkness roars
Yes, I'm trusting you may,
As I've often heard you say,
"Keep the howling wolves at bay"
When they're just outside your door
Ahhhhhhhooooooo!
Don't know how you do it
Don't know how you do it
Don't know how you do it
Don't know how you do it...
