I was a boy with a very big dream Didn't know about bad times coming Always thought I could do anything Never thought I could amount to nothing When I crawled out among the reeds Couldn't hold me back, couldn't hold me back Still I hoped I could take the lead Then I fell off track, I fell off track Then I found life in my disease Got away from my past life coming When I felt that island breeze I knew I could finally go there Feeling older at seventeen On a wave of life I recognize And I really hope that you'll guarantee That I'll stay in sight of the waking light Ya I found life echoing All the way back the past outrunning When I drove down my old street I knew I was finally closer And I fall away from Earth And I fall away from Earth And I fall away from Earth And I fall away from Earth And I fall away from Earth And I fall away from Earth
