On The Day Lyrics - Jackson Browne

You really need someone on your side 

But you run away and hide 

Whenever somebody's going to get through 

You've got this wall in front of you 

You put your arm around me and smile 

But you're thinking all the while 

Yeah, your friends only go so far 

However close friends think they are 

On the day 

On the day you fall in love 

Gonna pray 

You're gonna pray that your love is enough 

You've had the world in the palm of your hand 

Since you turned from child to man 

No one can tell you a thing you don't know 

You see your life as a one man show

But you're not whole 

There are things you don't control 

You're going to know what I'm talking about 

On the day love finds you out 

On the day 

On the day you fall in love 

Gonna pray 

You better pray-- 

It's your life, you try to know 

Which way the answers lie, which way to go 

'Cause you survive, don't mean you grow 

Open your eyes, look out below 

Look out-- 

On the day 

On the day you fall in love 

Gonna pray 

You better pray
