I was in quite maybe the gravest of dangers
I was in the blackest of blues
Freedom came and couldn't have felt any stranger
Than it did to walk in those shoes
They tried to tell me change is reserved for the chosen
And point me at the dollar buffet
They think that I will fill myself up
Won't believe my good luck just to be here
I'm hungry just the same
Feeling like I don't have to wait any longer
Though you tell maybe I do
Can't recall a time I felt any stronger
That's the way things feel when they're true
They even have the nerve to suggest an opinion
On the way my heart likes to beat in my chest
Well I can't say I'm sorry no more
What am I sorry for to begin with
My heart beats just the same
And what they fail to realize yeah yeah yeah
Is they don't know nothing about what I'm made of
And if I want to get some hell yeah yeah yeah
Don't ever worry or wonder about it
I will
I have had these dreams for too long to decide them
By the way you like to keep score
I would rather lie down and die right beside them
If I couldn't dream them no more
They tried to tell me maybe I don't quite belong here
Why that is they really can't say
Yeah they hem and haw and look at the floor as they Show me the door and they tell me
We love you just the Same
