He was a daytime sleeper He never would go much deeper Than his mother and dad expected Another one so neglected It was a blessing in disguise 'Cause one day he opened up his eyes Chorus: And started to sing of love just to find it He started to sing his way to the light He was born with the master key To unlock a melody and make it right They told him to buckle down and pay attention They taught him to swallow his dreams and his ambitions So he followed their rules of life by intimidation To the point where he couldn't find an inspiration Then he began to wonder why And suddenly opened up his eyes Repeat chorus He found it, a reason To open his wings and rise above his world of pain He knows it, he shows it And so he will sing of love Never again will he beg to be heard by the powers that be Never again will he change all his words, 'cause he's gotta be free He's been there before and he's learned to ignore what they want him to see He'll write down the truth and he'll sing it to you, you don't have to agree And no one will ever hold him down Because of the freedom that he found Repeat chorus
