Jeffrey Gaines - All the Will in the World Lyrics

More desire than you or I
It's a wonder to be sure
More hunger inside this guy
Still he waits outside the door
Now I see him both bewildered and amazed
At all of those fortunate
Who are standing in his place
And it looks like to me
He's getting used to being slapped in the face
Cause he won't give up that easily
He's so sure that's who he's supposed to be
And from where I'm standing
It's looking like a crime to me
All of the will in the world don't let him be
It don't set him free
More denying the obvious
Still he's trying to be heard
More years devoted than all of us
His perception's obscured
So now I see him both alone and ashamed
Far off the mark in which in his youth he had aimed
And it looks like to me
He ought to get the hell out of the game
But he won't give up that easily
Cause he's so sure that's who he's supposed to be
And from where I'm standing
It's looking like a crime to me
All of the will in the world don't let him be
It don't set him free
