I kiss the day, there can be no other answer Turn back the time and let me in I look away, as they stare and all their glances Now i can tell you where i've been All alone inside myself I guess i never knew which way to go The time has come to know yourself And i don't want to live that way again, Again, again, again. I'm miles away, as i look into the water And there's a tide that pulls me in The missing page where there'll be the sons and daughters I live and die it's hard to take Safe within, this higher ground The pleasure and the pain has come and gone
I have been once lost now found And i don't want to live that way again There's a light in the distance And a voice that cries freedom There's a child in the mirror, Much too long he's been grievin' I have stumbled thru madness Now i've made my decision, And i don't want to live that way again So i pull down the shutters And i wave my resistance And i wait for the sirens That will ring thru my head I was cast as a leper Now i've replaced my religion And i don't want to live that way again
