Unchained
I wanted to dance
Or sing a song
Paint a portrait
Or just hang around
I wanted to laugh
That bellowing laugh
Whistle a tune
Or strum a guitar
Drink & get drunk
Just scream out aloud
Cry for no reason
Or mingle in a crowd
I wanted to clown around
As the world passed me by
Play around
Like a child in a park
But my fear was so great
What the world would have said
Would a fool I would make
Of my shy little self
As I sat to think
A realization just hit
Nothing was beyond me
I could do anything
As long as I didn’t care
What the world would think
My life would fulfill
The desires it brings
So all you folks
Who think me mad
I care a damn
Enough I have had
No more of your thoughts
The way I should be
Enough of this crap
Your thoughts I don’t need
Its my life, my world
That’s the way it will be
Take me as I am
Not what you want me to be
I wanted to dance
Or sing a song
Paint a portrait
Or just hang around
I wanted to laugh
That bellowing laugh
Whistle a tune
Or strum a guitar
Drink & get drunk
Just scream out aloud
Cry for no reason
Or mingle in a crowd
I wanted to clown around
As the world passed me by
Play around
Like a child in a park
But my fear was so great
What the world would have said
Would a fool I would make
Of my shy little self
As I sat to think
A realization just hit
Nothing was beyond me
I could do anything
As long as I didn’t care
What the world would think
My life would fulfill
The desires it brings
So all you folks
Who think me mad
I care a damn
Enough I have had
No more of your thoughts
The way I should be
Enough of this crap
Your thoughts I don’t need
Its my life, my world
That’s the way it will be
Take me as I am
Not what you want me to be
