I'm miles away, as I look into the water
And there's a tide that pulls me in
The missing page where there'll be the sons and
daughters
I live and die it's hard to take
Safe within, this higher ground
The pleasure and the pain has come and gone
I have been once lost now found
And I don't want to live that way again
There's a light in the distance
And a voice that cries freedom
There's a child in the mirror,
Much too long he's been grievin'
I have stumbled thru madness
Now I've made my decision,
And I don't want to live that way again
So I pull down the shutters
And I wave my resistance
And I wait for the sirens
That will ring thru my head
I was cast as a leper
Now I've replaced my religion
And I don't want to live that way again
