Another Day Goes By Lyrics

Mr. Greene
Asked me yesterday:
"Boy, what do you want to be?
With some work,
In ten years or so,
You could be sitting here just like me."
He said: "Your future looks crystal clear."
I just gotta get away from here.
[Chorus]
I want to be an eagle, soaring high;
Sign my name across the sky.
I gotta break free, before I die.
Before another day,
Before another day goes by.
My mother said,
Just the other day:
"Boy, get your feet on the ground."
She looked at me
In such a way.
I said: "Ma,
Please don't bring me down,"
I said: "My future is crystal clear,
Just gotta get away from here."
[Chorus]
Before I waste another minute.
Live my life without me in it.

[Chorus]
