I had to leave, I had to escape That dreary life I led Its weight was crushing Down upon me I had no place in mind when I left So I hit the road, headed west How the world just opened up Right before my eyes Is this all life is meant to be, Just another cog in the big machine? This is the place, now is the time You'd better act now Or life will pa** you by What is the point if there's no joy inside A meaningless life is no life at all My vision was filled with water and sand Light danced across the shore And waves came crashing As if they were greeting a friend Took off my shoes and went for a swim The water called me on I followed its melody Plunged right into the unknown This is how life is meant to be Just another dreamer living my dream This is the place, now is the time You'd better act now Or life will pa** you by What is the point if there's no joy inside A meaningless life is no life at all
