I am for a life around the corner
That takes you by surprise
That comes leaves all you need
And more besides
I am for a life and time by numbers
Blast in fast ´n´ low
Add ´em up, account for luck
You never know
I am into friendship and plain sailing
Through frenzied ports o´ call
O shake the hand to beat the band
With love is all
Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow
There´s one in every town
A crazy guy, he'd rather die
Than be tied down
I am for the man who drives the hammer
To rock you 'til the grave
His power drill shocks
A million miles away
I am for the revolution´s coming
I don´t know where she´s been
For those who dare because it´s there
I know I´ve seen
Now and then I´ve suffered imperfection
I´ve studied marble flaws
And faces drawn pale and worn
By many tears
I am that I am from out of nowhere
to fight without a cause
Roots strain against the grain
With brute force you´d better
Hold out when you´re in doubt
Question what you see
And when you find an answer
Bring it home to me.
