E man who discovered fire, Was probably burned at the steak For thinking something out of line As it is with all the thinkers That leave all others in their wake Recognized long after their time Everybody knows the story of the men Who thought that they would fly They were laughed right off the yard And about the greatest fighter, Who said that he'd refuse to fight When they tried to send him off to war And so I thank God for those who came along And felt it all to strong And paved the way for all - Before Me The common thing within them all Is the strength to brave the storm, And never to conform - Before Me I'm realizing, some things Just can't be compromised When you know that you are right Its just a simple question Of human authenticity Don't try to hide out of the light I find the hardest problem, Is those opinions around me Some of them are poisoned from the start Their basis lies in shadows, Something they heard and so believed Nothing developed in the heart
