about

the first song I wrote at the age of 16...

lyrics

Trying to live up to what the people expect
trying to keep in with them or
you'll be going next.
You only worry about being OK,
Always making sure you've got the easy way.

You think you're in charge
but you really don't know
that the crowd you belong to is
deciding where you go.

You say you're living by yourself
but you're going off the cliff with everybody else.
They don't care if you fall,
They only want to get there - that's all.

Stumbling through the pieces of your broken life,
you feel the pain that cut you like a knife.
You were dashed on the rocks
and crushed by the tide,
but someone comes to meet you
and his arms are open wide.

You think you're in charge,
but you really can't see
that there's more to life than this
more than you can ever be.

You said you were living for yourself
but you went off the cliff with everybody else.
Now you've heard the voice
now you've heard the call
Now you've got the choice - that's all.

1993/96
