Here I am I've been gone for awhile I'll take on the world with a laugh and a smile The time has come for a new ideal You got to face the fact got to break the seal Can you see it in my eyes, can you feel it in the air Another place another time, how I wish I could be there I open my eyes and I see the changes, different faces I made up my mind and I stand my ground thru rock of ages I was down and out now I'm back for more I'm back on my feet, time to settle the score Punch the clock yeah hit the lights I'll take the stage, tonight's the night Can you see it in my eyes, can you feel it in the air Another place another time, how I wish I could be there I open my eyes and I see the changes, different faces I made up my mind and I stand my ground thru rock of ages
