I am mine, I am my own Said the ancients years ago Apples and pears rotten lie The eulogy itself can write When I heard the man was dead, I wondered Do I have a hero that'll stay? He said I am mine and no other's But I never planned to live that way Cradled hands don't hide your calls I hear them rolling in the walls Calling out toward the wind Asking how to begin again If you're a stranger Then I would love to meet you I can't go on any other way Been on my own too long to retreat Yeah, you're just getting too old to delay But you say Soon I will be new (Soon, Soon) Soon I will be new (Soon, Soon) Soon And if you're a stranger Then I would love to meet you I can't go on any other way Been on my own too long to retreat And you're just getting too old to delay
