  • The test begins, now
    I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
    I thought it better not to fight, I thought there was a
    Virtue in always being cool, so when it came time to
    Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
    Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool

    I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
    Lights begins it's all a mystery

    Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
    Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
    And be a man, for to lose I could accept but to surrender
    I just wept and regretted this moment, oh that I, I
    Was the fool

    I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
    Lights begins it's all a mystery
    And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
    Own life, it's all a mystery

    Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
    You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
    To face them,
    If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
    I should have fought him but instead I let him, I let
    Him take it

    I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
    Lights begins it's all a mystery
    And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
    Own life, it's all a mystery

    The test is over, now Writer/s: DAVE FRIDMANN, MICHAEL IVINS, STEVEN DROZD, WAYNE COYNE, YUSUF ISLAM

  • Matt from Downers Grove, IlTotally Rocking Song, and 'Father and Son' is also good. Actually, Fight Test and Father and Son share a lot of similarities. "I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life" sounds a lot like the choice the son had to make in the Cat Stevens song.
