they used to make their plans about me
they didn't let me live my life
my way was the one they had gone by
I wasn't owner of my time
they said you must be a great lawyer
and soon you'll have a house and car
but I love poetry and music
and I don't want the plans they have
but my day did come
I saw the sky wide above me
I had tied my arms and closed my eyes
but now I'm free
but my day did come
I saw the sky wide above me
I had tied my arms and closed my eyes
but now I'm free
they said you must be a great lawyer
and soon you'll have a house and car
but I love poetry and music
and I don't want the plans they have
they didn't let me live my life
my way was the one they had gone by
I wasn't owner of my time
they said you must be a great lawyer
and soon you'll have a house and car
but I love poetry and music
and I don't want the plans they have

I saw the sky wide above me
I had tied my arms and closed my eyes
but now I'm free
but my day did come
I saw the sky wide above me
I had tied my arms and closed my eyes
