Outsider

Born as an outsider today,

I'm not from here, I'm not from there.

I heard you say I have to leave,

And not look back to see what I have left.

While everybody dreams and lives for another day.

Lived all my life building a frame,

That pictured all that lied ahead.

You're telling me I have to leave,

And not look back to see what I have left.

While everybody dreams and lives for another day.

For those of you that know,

What it's like to cross the line

and know that there's no turning back.

Outsider.

And on the other side,

You have no face you lose your voice,

You don't exist but you're no ghost.

Outsider.

Earned every right to board the train.

Broke my back while I broke the chains.

I heard you say don't go that way,

There's left and right but nothing in between.

While everybody dreams.

For those of you that know,

What it's like to cross the line

and know that there's no turning back.

Outsider.

And on the other side,

You have no face you lose your voice,

You don't exist but you're no ghost.

Outsider.
