lyrics
I don’t know why I sometimes cry out to the sky
Beside myself
Seems to me hypocrisy to actively
Deny my wealth
I understand to be a man you need a solid plan
For this Earth
Does that require to conspire against desire
To prove my worth
Pre Chorus:
I’m on my way, father
No time to stay, father
No not today, father
No time to wait, father
Nor hesitate, father
This is my fate, father
Chorus:
I don’t know what
Is in store for me
But in my gut
I know I’ve got to be free
Well it’s a start
Most Definitely
And in my heart
I know I’ve got to be free
In and out and throughout I’ve had my doubts
As to what it means
But when I fake what’s at stake I tend to wake
In someone else’s dreams
I understand to be a man you need a solid plan
To live around
Does that require to conspire against desire
To which I’m bound
Beside myself
Seems to me hypocrisy to actively
Deny my wealth
I understand to be a man you need a solid plan
For this Earth
Does that require to conspire against desire
To prove my worth
Pre Chorus:
I’m on my way, father
No time to stay, father
No not today, father
No time to wait, father
Nor hesitate, father
This is my fate, father
Chorus:
I don’t know what
Is in store for me
But in my gut
I know I’ve got to be free
Well it’s a start
Most Definitely
And in my heart
I know I’ve got to be free
In and out and throughout I’ve had my doubts
As to what it means
But when I fake what’s at stake I tend to wake
In someone else’s dreams
I understand to be a man you need a solid plan
To live around
Does that require to conspire against desire
To which I’m bound
