Yourself Again

The light came as I was trying to sleep,

I had a pistol laying by my feet.

It’d been six months since I’d had me a job,

And I was living off of the fools I could rob.

She said some people let it go to their head,

You’d better count yourself a lucky man.

You got out of the race just in time

To avoid the crash.

Take a look at the sky, boy.

You could ride the wind.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself again.

Remember whatever happens, this is never the end.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself,

Your mind is sure to find yourself again.

So I packed up all I’d stolen

In the pocket of my sweater,

I made a phone call to a friend back east

And then I hopped aboard a train.

And I drank from the cup that they gave me,

And I took a drink from my own.

And I wrote down all the words they had to say.

Take a look at the sky, boy.

You could ride the wind.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself again.

Remember whatever happens, this is never the end.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself,

Your mind is sure to find yourself again.

So I did my very best to break

The chains of my own retention,

And to my great surprise I found

A lock to fit the key.

And the words spewed from my tongue

Were like a sun defrosting winter,

And I feel down as if in rapture

Upon my knees.

Take a look at the sky, boy.

You could ride the wind.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself again.

Remember whatever happens, this is never the end.

If you open your mind you’re sure to find yourself,

Your mind is sure to find yourself again.
