(Michael McDonald/Carol Bayer Sager)

Oh, I hand them this life
To do what they will
They've got to find their way from here
(Oh, show us the way)
If they only knew
(Oh, show us the light)
Show them what light?

It shines from within
They make their own day
They make their own night
And sometimes they win
(Oh, show us the way)
But they always get through
(Oh, show us the light)

Chorus:
Oh, why do they come and ask for more?
They've got stars they don't have wishes for
They're just givin' up their blame to me
How do those fools survive?

I'm wonderin' why, I'm wonderin' how
They're gonna bail themselves out now
(Oh, give us this day)
I'm shakin' my head
(Oh, keep us through night)

Oh, I hand them this life
To do what they will
They've got to make their way from here
(Oh, show us the way)
If they only knew
(Oh, show us the light)

(Chorus)

It's not like it was before
When they call I won't come running
It was so long ago
I left them on their own
Oh, how do those fools survive?

[Sax solo]

Oh, how can they come and ask for more?
They've got stars they don't have wishes for
They're just givin' up their blame to me
How do those fools survive?

[Guitar solo on fade]
