Why do we have to wait, until we get older To have fun, to be ourselves, to be something better? Why do we have to wait, to express ourselves the way we ought to All my life I waited, for you to leave me alone The best things in life are yet to come I find myself in, a hole, that I dug myself Isn’t there someone out there that feels the same as me Cause I, I don’t feel free I’m doing what I can, with what, I have in me But everything I know, is wrong, and it don’t feel right at all Why do we have to feel like something is missing? No matter how hard you try you just can’t listen Why do we have to wait, to express ourselves the way we ought to All my life I waited, for you to leave me alone The best things in life are yet to come

Down where the potion lay, Down by the windy beach today You knew, you knew That I would stay committed To your soul, your life, please admit it It wasn't where it ought to been You don't ever give me the time, to talk, to say, to breath I felt everything renewed, till the spring came, till the morning spring came back down I felt the earth beneath my skin I hurt myself deep within I knew, good lord knows you knew That I am sensitive To the words that you play with In my home I felt something in my mind, trigger and pop like a machine undone And everything I knew came into place when the song was sung I didn't know that everything would be undone Like a bird Like a coin Like the things you said to me That I can join, that I can breathe you in But now that the things have changed They've grown every which way But they don't know Which way they ought to grow When you don't care When you don't give a damn Oh but how would I know, that I could, go on with these days oh how I should

Doing what I can, with what I have inside I said I’m doing what I can with what I have inside Doing what we do, feeling what we say you know Back then what I couldn’t go nowhere The light was dim and I felt a strange stare She don’t own me, She don’t own me, I can do what I want Don’t you ever get, tired of being in control Just give it a break Just give it some time, gal It will come soon take its toll But everything I know Tells me that you got to go I’m always the middle man, I don’t have a say One thing goes in one ear then goes on its way She don’t own me, She don’t own me, I can do what I want But everything you say, makes me run from you, You don’t understand what your getting into, Don’t you know, yeah don’t you know That I can be your man, farther from the clan, of indentured souls Working to hard, just to get a little pay I feel it in my legs, I feel it in my soul now Someone please brighten my day But everything I know Tells me that you got to go Tells me, Tells me, Tells me That you got to go

I’ve stayed in many days but you don’t know how I treated you different from the rest of the crowd I could have been strange, I could have been wrong But you took me in, you loved me, taught me right from wrong Could I be a train, coming down hard to you Could I be something new, to you Out there in the country were the land meets the sun, There lies a little girl, she’s lonely, the only one That knows how, how to make you happy When your sad and feeling down Could I be a train, coming down hard to you Could I be something new, to you Well I tried my hardest now, to get to you But your like an egg shell, so hard to break, your heart Cause I know where I ought to be Cause I know where I ought to be Could I be a train, coming down hard to you Could I be something new, to you

Traveling up to battle, I don’t know why Rifle and knife, I was dressed in white I was ready to do, anything that I, Had to do to survive, To live by my rights Do you hold me back, I was so tired I wouldn’t regret attack Do you hold me, In your minds eye, can you see Dance with me now, do what you do, I can’t fight it, its not that hard to let it go now, now, I will follow you I don’t really mind at all, if you don’t let me go I don’t really mind at all, if you don’t send my letters home Cause there will be no one there, if and when they come Everyone I loved, is gone in a day, gone in a day, gone in a day Do you hold me, In your minds eye, can you see Dance with me now, do what you do, I can’t fight it, Its not that hard to let it go now, now, I will follow you I will follow you, I will follow you, I will follow you

With the flashing of the lights, I knew that you would be gone from my life I knew it, from the start, why can’t you see That I, I don’t know where to start, That I, I don’t know where to start, From the beginning, or the end of my life, of my life, I don’t know Something in my mind Doesn't want me to believe in you But I love you, even more then he does I walked down the same road as a soldiers way I don't feel the same Don't hide anything Tell me what you want I stepped hard on the road When I was born I stepped hard on the road When I was born, like a little boy With his mama, in there house, were there sleepin' I would never give myself away Get lost, in the sun, play some cards, have some fun With the crowd of devils flying in the air, in the sky above Everything I’ve done, comes undone Everything I’ve chosen for you isn’t right I’ve spent most of my best days alone, without you by my side I’ve tried and I’ve tried to make us a home, but it all fell apart I will try much harder now, since we now know, what is right with the world today

I’m stuck in a world where I’m in all the wrong places All the things that I want to say to you I get the feeling There’s no one else out there No one that could let you down more then me I feel it coming on I feel it coming on, today The anger I can’t swallow down The pain, it gets to you I'm sorry but I'm Doing what we ought to do best With ourselves, in this town Find out what comes next Work it out, hear the sound Of a million little babies in this town Sometimes she leave’s you, Sometimes she don’t Sometimes she feels like, you won’t Keep in mind that It doesn’t mean That she’s gone forever I feel it coming on I feel it coming on, today The anger I can’t swallow down The pain, it gets to you I'm sorry but I'm Doing what we ought to do best For our son, he‘s only one Find out what comes next Blame yourself, get better now Come on down to the lair It’s were we have all the fun Do you feel the sting of the sword on you now, Do you feel the wound opening, Oh Find yourself a matching soul, that will bind to you When your down, and in a hole, that’s when your lover will do, anything for you
