Life is hard if you don't conform
But it's not in my genes to be the norm
We're taught to follow the status quo
What if you're not born to follow the flow

A mortgage, a finance, an overdraft we're sold
This is what from young we're told
A system built to churn out sheep
To conditioned and scared to take a leap

This is what is so hard I find
This is what plagues my mind
What do I do if this is not for me
If I forget what I'm taught, will I then feel free

Maybe someday the answers will appear
As life passes you by living in fear
But if the answers never rise
Maybe I'll learn to see things through different eyes
