I can't wait to leave this place
But all I do is settle down.
A man cannot be heard behind a closed door,
Hes got to take his words to town.
When I was young I fell in love
And I've been falling ever since
With a way to speak my mind,
With broken English
And crooked rhymes.
Like lovers loving underneath the blankets,
And late night talks with father drenched in wine,
I ache to venture out and join to circus
Of people learning how to feel alive.
So I am thankful to the poets
Who gave me ways to feel inside.
The frames of reference, songs of passion,
To never run and to never hide.
And it has been a long time coming,
But a change is here.
The reasons all have run away,
There's nothing left to fear.
I walk into the corner of the station
And take the train that offers me a ride.
I know that this is only the beginning
Of a journey that will stay with me for life.
It's a journey that will stay with me for life.
It will stay
With me.
