I. I'm in a Cage |
|
As the dream floats by ('neath the towering sky) |
|
There's a move to move me forward |
|
But it only lasts 'til I fall on yesterday |
|
With opinions thrown (like the crowd's first stone) |
|
And the world of men is nowhere |
|
I have a sense of freedom but it feels so far away |
|
'Cause I'm in a cage (of my own making) |
|
I never wanted to be this way |
|
I'm in a cage (my heart is breaking) |
|
But I'll tough it out today |
|
I could move way in (I could move way out) |
|
I could move all the way to Cairo |
|
"But someone would be there; someone that I know too well" |
|
I wanna change my mind (wanna change my heart) |
|
I just need some relief but I know |
|
That it just won't come, that is as long as I'm myself |
|
'Cause I'm in a cage (of my own making) |
|
I never wanted to be this way |
|
I'm in a cage (my heart is breaking) |
|
But I'll tough it out today |
|
I'm in a cage (of my own making) |
|
And now I forgot what the reason is |
|
I'm in a cage (the toll's been taking) |
|
But I guess that's all there is.... |
|
There's a reason why the storm is raging |
|
There's a reason why you feel alone (the man's gone to make his way alone) |
|
There's a reason why your soul's been caged in |
|
Can't you feel your need to come back home? (the man's gone) |
|
Feel your need to come back home (the man's gone) |
|
Feel your need to come back home |
|
II. I am the Man |
|
I can't see your throne |
|
So I will build my own |
|
I'll build it high and tall |
|
The world will see I don't need YOU |
|
At all |
|
Look how far I've come |
|
The poor abandoned son |
|
My cities scrape to the sky |
|
I believe in myself |
|
I believe that I can fly....fly... |
|
FLY HIGH! |
|
I am what I say I am |
|
I am the man |
|
If I don't like the deal |
|
I'll invent what's real |
|
If this creates some confusion |
|
I just need a bigger and better illusion |
|
I am what I say I am |
|
I am the man |
|
One hope |
|
One life |
|
One eternal fact |
|
You're a |
|
Part of me |
|
And I want you back |
|
One hope |
|
One life |
|
One eternal soul |
|
One hand |
|
Reaching |
|
All is ever whole |
|
And you won't find me |
|
By living |
|
For the flesh |
|
'Til you come home |
|
I won't let you rest |
|
III. The Man's Gone (Reprise) |
|
The man's gone he doesn't need a thing |
|
The man's gone to crown himself as king |
|
The man's gone to make is way alone |
|
The man's gone to make is way alone |
|
The man's gone to turn his heart to stone |
|
The man's gone to make is way alone |
|
IV. Something Within Me Remembers |
|
But something within me remembers |
|
But something within me remembers |
|
But something within me remembers |
|
Deep within my heart |
|
I remember the feeling together |
|
When everything was part of my world |
|
And I was part of everything |
|
I felt a child of the King |
