Duck Pond

Well, everybody's leaving

From this town and from me

They got the burning flame

But sure achieved their aim

Now it's time for me to see

Oh how I wish that I could

Do the same as them and go

Just pack my bags and goodbye

Get out fast, I'll fade away real slow

'Cause what you see is what you get right here

Where change is nowhere near

Yeah, what you see is what you done for me

In this duck pond, leave me be

Pretend my life is perfect

Like the faces on tv

Yeah, that's the only way to face another day

Not to deny the misery

But those the ways of loonies

And like a clown, I do act

No matter what I could be or

Would like to go, I'm stuck here, that's a fact

'Cause what you see is what you get

Change is nowhere near

Yeah, what you see is what you done for me

In this duck pond, leave me be

I'm too weak, I'm down on my knees

Too feeble for something new

Feels like there is nothing I can do

Keep on laughing 'bout me

Just keep doing your own

And someday I will be the one

Be the one

Yes someday I will be the one

Be the one

Be the one

You said that I will be the one

Be the one

Yeah someday I will be the one
