I do not live in a castle, or upon a cloud I try not to be too naive or too proud I do not sit on a pedestal or in an ivory tower I do not pretend to have all the power I do not have the knowledge or hold the key I do not pretend to be anyone, just me I make mistakes like all the rest I am weak when I am at my very best I speak a good story I don’t tell no lies I don’t listen to myself so I’m not so wise I wear my heart on my sleeve like a gun I spend all my bullets when I am on the run And no-one can follow me I am elusive to love Yet I seek from below, I seek from above
I never deemed myself perfect I’m stupidly stubborn when I believe I am right I will sit and argue my piece through the night I will not know what I want and then decided on a whim Wanting to be loved is my only sin So suffer away shall I alone and unique? My heart is strong my will is weak My impatience is a virtue I try hard to heed It leads me to a labyrinth of emotion too confusing to read But yet I know in my soul who I am and what I know But yet I still believe you reap with what you sow And I exhaust myself time and again to understand myself Because I believe someday I will find a mountain of wealth And really I know the truth - I know my fear I am not lost I am already here I forgot to believe that what will be, will be And yes it is ok, that I am me
