Become lost to yourself in the shadowy mines
Or defend your heart by drawing a line
What you seek is a freedom that's hard to define
Where you live in your passion yet sleep through the night
And the band plays you off as you're waving goodbye
While you take a deep breath beneath the rose colored sky
What you seek is a freedom that's hard to come by
We are mind, we are body, we're a pawnshop of thoughts
Catapulted blindly into a frenzy of sharks
We are assigned a number then quickly forgot
We are taught to be moral in a world that is not
And the con men on top keep the rest in the dark
For the greed has replaced what was left of their heart
They will deny you fire and sell you a spark
Now, I am just a singer, not a scholar or guru
All I know's from hard lessons that I did not choose
What I seek is a happiness that's boundless and true
With no door men punching tickets for just the chosen few
Where I salute the sun and bid goodnight to the moon
Where the birdsong is sung on this spring afternoon
And I will search forever 'til I'm down in my tomb
Yes, I will search forever 'til I'm down in my tomb
