I was there at the dawning, saw the birth of the day Found the road so I shouldered my load, and set out on the way I was young, I was young, I was young Wandered on through the morning, felt a change in the air Learned to choke on the bitter black smoke, felt the shape of despair I was strong, I was strong, I was strong 'Cause there's nowhere in this long forsaken world where I belong In the heat of the noonday, at the height of the sun On the gra** there was no shadow cast, as I started to run I was lost, I was lost, I was lost I believed in the music, I had faith in the world Thought the song was the place I belonged, thought that I would be heard I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong 'Cause there's nowhere in this long forsaken world where I belong On the cusp of the darkess, on the edge of the night Turned away from the d**h of the day, walked away from the light I was gone, I was gone, I was gone And there's nowhere in this long forsaken world where I belong I was young, I was strong, I was lost, I was wrong, I was gone I was long, long gone
