Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
[Verse 2]
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game?
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name?
[Verse 3]
When did I stop feeling sure
Feeling safe?
And start wondering why
Wondering why?
[Verse 4]
Is this a dream, am I here
Where are you?
What's in back of the sky
Why do we cry?
[Verse 5]
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get on, gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
[Verse 6]
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb?
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am?
[Verse 7]
Is this a dream, am I here
Where are you?
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why?
