I'm not the man when I reach out my hand to the stranger who dwells in an even stranger land
I said come on my fellow and join the band you can learn to let go and not make your last stand
Believe you no longer have to feel empty inside because there is way out, to walk with no need to hide
It's when I'm looking back on all those days that I cried I know more often than not to myself I lied
I can live in the present with a spring into action and it's not like they say because there is satisfaction
Having courage ain't easy but I can show you it works, simply walk this way and don't engage the jerks
Awaken technicolor and then open the door I was amazed at what I would find was in store
To acknowledge a desire for the more and more or continue my descent and wake up beneath the floor
No more reason to sleep on my pillow of tears because I tear down the wall and then release my fears
There are not enough days and sometimes too many years but I don't have to react as much, when The Man shifts gears...
