Seems like a thousand days   And there can be no doubt   His mind was in a haze   And he was so worn out   He lost serenity   Within a fractured life   With no apology   He knew that he was right   But his eyes they did not see   Heading for a tragedy      To prove his innocence   He'll take it to the grave   In his deliverance   Somebody could be saved      And the world he could not face   Prayin' for a state of grace   He was looking for a sign   He was selfish and unkind   Gave his life to the divine      Inside his caravan   He pulled the shutters down   And will he ever see   What all the others found?   He stood upon the roof   Get closer to the sky   Condition critical   No time to wonder why   But his eyes they could not see   Heading for a tragedy      He was looking for a sign   He was selfish and unkind   Gave his life to the divine      And the world he could not face   Prayin' for a state of grace   He was looking for a sign   He was selfish and unkind      Gave his life      He was looking for a sign   He was selfish and unkind   Gave his life to the divine      He gave his life
