The Ballad
I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going
When they wither away
I pray to see another day
My heart's feeling like a needle
lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever willI know
we are free...
The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I don't mind doing the time
I'm happier being alive
Now I know the truth is your own most sacred lesson
I've ever learnedI know we are free...
Go on, no don't look back
Just realise where you've gone
I've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intent now to make my own rules
Dagger's edge cut the life
I've been down that road
Too many times
What's to fear, fear no more
Show my consciense what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done so do as you will!
I'm keeping alive!
Go on, no don't look back
Just realise where you've gone
Where are you going to
No, life's not done wit you
You've only just begun
To live your life, for you...
