Making the choice to be a new man is a long process.
lyrics
I'm not wild, but I can be crazy
I'm not free, but I can be a rebel without a cause
And this guitar, I write a song, so I can be anybody that I need
Until today, until today, I...
I climbed out of the mountains like an old man on his way
Who knew his course but got bogged down when he thought about the way I knew, the right way from the wrong, just because it's common doesn't mean I have to want it anyway
The sun don't seem familiar on the wrinkles I've provided through the years, just like dawn I saw the right thing when I let go of, the darkness and the pain, this atmosphere is toxic in the wake up and the strain, of holding on to a dream
