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.
