I'm free to go There's no more need to stay Throw away the works of years And return to Adam's way Retreat from shadow To dappled glades and sun bleached joys Livin' out on an island in the mind Untouched by human flaws I'm free to go There's nothing in my way Up above the rainbow's end The gold all melts away Return a hero From distant lands of fight and fire Escaping to the peace in my mind And climbing higher and higher I'm throwing out my ticket To the outside world Lost interest in the drama Which is destined to unfold I'm heading out for the shores Of a friendly land Where every grain of sand Reaches out to shake me by the hand I nearly made it that time I nearly got away I nearly made it that time But I always have to stay I nearly made it that time I nearly got away I nearly made it that time But I always have to stay Always have to stay
