The Ballad

I'm not one to say
 Were my feelings are going when they wither away
 I pray to see another day
 My hearts feeling like a needle lost in the hay
 Restrained to meet again
 My friend do you think that we ever will
 I know we are free
 ♪
 The games are played with your life on the line
 Some lose, you win if you keep on tryin
 I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive
 Now I know the means to my oppression were all lies
 The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned
 I know we are free
 ♪
 Yeah!
 Yeah!
 Don't go no, don't look back, just realize
 ♪
 I've been robbed, I've been fooled
 I intent now to make my own rules
 Daggers edge cut the line
 I've been down that road, too many times
 ♪
 What's to fear, fear no more
 Show my conscience what fear's for
 Now I know this is so real
 What's done is done so do as you will
 ♪
 I'm keeping alive
 Don't go, no, don't look back, just realize
 Just realize, where you've gone
 Where are you going to, No life's not done with you
 You've only just begun
 To live your life
 For you
