I Am Mine

I am mine, I am my own

Said the ancients years ago

Apples and pears rotten lie

The eulogy itself can write

When I heard the man was dead, I wondered

Do I have a hero that'll stay?

He said I am mine and no other's

But I never planned to live that way

Cradled hands don't hide your calls

I hear them rolling in the walls

Calling out toward the wind

Asking how to begin again

If you're strange

Then I would love to meet you

I can't go on any other way

Been on my own too long to retreat

Yeah, you're just getting too old to delay

But you say

Soon I will be new

Soon, soon

Soon I will be new

Soon

And if you're strange

Then I would love to meet you

I can't go on any other way

Been on my own too long to retreat

And you're just getting too old to delay
