Two young eyes have seen the sights
Of the discouraging masses pressing down
Every time this child expressed a dream
Encouragement never seemed to be mainstream
Two growing ears have heard the sounds
Of a multitude of people all the same
Frightened by anything that's different
And handing out large amounts of shame
But i know deep down in my black sheep soul
That they don't have me under their control
And i will not act out anyone else's role
Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
Reading all the books i ever can
Never really getting an answer or a plan
But even so, i knew not to stop
The world is mine, and ill never drop
Ask me again how i grew up
Nothing more painful, than an a empty cup
Until i found just the right flock
I was out by seven o'clock
Two grownup hands have built this life
While tuning out the skeptical voices
Whose life am i really expected to live
When i'm the one who makes the choices
But i know deep down in my black sheep soul
That they'll never have me under their control
And i will not act out anyone else's role
Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
But i know deep down in my black sheep soul
That they don't have me under their control
And i will not act out anyone else's role
Cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
