[Verse 1] When the sun sinks down
And dreams start to drown
And you still don't know who you are
Workin' the ground
Pace like a dog in a pound
And you still only get so far

[Chorus 1] And I'd do it again
Even if I didn't know how
I'd learn how to make my own fire burn
To be knowing is to know how
I'd find out how to make my own sun shine
To be knowing what I know now
I'd do it anyhow
I'd do it anyhow

[Verse 2] When the moon hangs low
And you still don't know
Where you're gonna be tomorrow
Maybe ride it out
Take the long way around
Don't have to beg, steal, or borrow

[Chorus 2] You just do it again
'Cause when you need it, you find out how
Even if you didn't know how to make the air move
You're gonna make that wind blow somehow
Even if the world crumbles at your feet
You're gonna haul out that earth somehow
And you know that now
You do it anyhow

[Bridge] To be knowing is to know how
There's no turning back now
Keep your nose on the grindstone
And your hand on the plow
And do it anyhow
And do it anyhow

[Verse 3] When the fire burns low
And the ash starts to glow
And a flame can't kill the sorrow
Maybe ride it out
Take the long way around
Don't have to beg, steal, or borrow
