On The Way To MeI'm on my wayThough I guess one day I'll wake And find it's just another false alarm Somebody told me once You can be whatever you want to be But it don't come free I'm on my way Though I don't know where I'm going I wish I'd gone there yesterday Cold wind's blowing at my back But I can't stay Don't you see? It's where I need to be I'm on my way to me, but I can't see My future for the past If I'd done what you had asked I could have been there in a flash I'm on my way back home, but I don't know Tomorrow from today I'm gonna find my way Find my way I don't know who But there's a stranger with my face Who knows the proper things to do She smiles in all the right places She runs in all the best races I do too, but not for you I'm on the way And though the stranger bears my name She just can't sing the songs I play But there's no shame in learning Halfway there, you want to be turning Back a while - gonna turn back that dial I'm on my way to me, but I can't see My future for the past If I'd done what you had asked I could have been there in a flash I'm on my way back home But I don't know tomorrow from today I'm gonna find my way - find my way Find my way back home |
