Chorus:
Don't push me, I'm headed my way,
Don't block my highway, don't push me.
Don't shove me, I'm walkin'softly,
So get off me, don't push me.
I've been in chains,
An iron band,
I need some space,
Some room to stand,
I need my breath,
I need my bread,
I need some clear sky over my head.
(Chorus)
You're born to die
Like any other one,
You act as though
You own the earth and sun,
I'm born to die,
But till that day
I am moving my own way.
(Chorus)
I'm bound around,
Too many walls,
You are the walls
That crowd me in.
I am too strong
For any walls,
I'll break right through and live again.
(Chorus)
