The Ballad

Well, I'm not one to say

Where my feelings are going when they wither away

I pray to see another day

My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay

Restrained to meet again

Oh my friend, do you think that we ever will?

Well I know we are free

The games are played with your life on the line

Some lose, you win if you keep on trying

Oh I don't mind doing the time

I'm happier being alive

Now I know the means to my oppression

We're all lies

The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I'd ever learned

Well I know we are free

Yeah, yeah

Don't go

No, don't look back

Just realize

Well I've been robbed

I've been fooled

I intend not to fake my own rules

Dagger's edge

Cut the line

I been down that road

Too many times

What's to fear

Fear no more

Show my conscience what fear's for

Now I know

This is surreal

What's done is done so do as you will

Well I'm keeping alive

Well, go on

No, don't look back

Just realize

Where you've gone

Where are you going to?

No, life's not done with you

You've only just begun

To live your life

For you
