The fifth track on Dan Fogelberg's 1981 double album "The Innocent Age."
Every night I ask myself
That same old question: why?
And every day the answer
Seems more distant
I always knew the final
Truths lay just beneath the lies
But I never thought they'd
Be this hard to find...
I never thought they'd
Be this hard to find...
Every time I try to put
This puzzle into place
There always seems to be
A piece that's missing
And through the eyes of someone else
I look into my face
And can't believe the sorrow
There I see
I can't believe this lonely man
Is me...
The faster we run
The further away the dreams
That we chase become
And lost in the sun
Spinning and turning
Blind in the burning
Light of day --
We have to turn away.
Every night I ask myself
That same old question: why?
And every day the answer
Seems more distant
I always knew the final
Truths lay just beneath the lies
But I never thought they'd
Be this hard to find...
I never thought they'd
Be this hard to find...
The faster we run
The further away the dreams
That we chase become
And lost in the sun
Spinning and turning
Blind in the burning
Light of day --
We have to turn away.

This song was so real to me when I was "lost in the sun", searching for the truth in this life!!! BobbyK

Just bought 7 or 8 Fogelberg cds, all the ones I had albums, and I am totally immersing myself back to Dan's music, especially this record. From the perspective of a 56 yr old, now I see some of the irony in his songs. Part of the Plan talks about there is no creative designer, just your dreams. But with no creator, it seems to me there is no purpose to anything, just survival of the fittest. With no creator, don't you lose the right to ask the why question?

amazing 4 major radio hits off this album and I find this song to be one of my favorites... just wish others would go beyond the radio hits and really listen to how awesome this guy was a singer songwriter composer...
