The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've seen it with my own eyes How we're gettin' otherwise Without the luxury of leavin' (leavin') The touch and feeling of free is Un-tangible technically Something you've got to believe in (believe in) Connect the cause and effect One foot in front of the next This is the start of a journey. And my mind is already gone And though there are other unknowns Somehow this doesn't concern me. And you can stand right there if you want But I'm going on And I'm prepared to go it alone I'm going on To a place in the sun that's nice and warm I'm going on And I'm sure they'll have a place for you too oh oh oh Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn't want what they need I want nothing to do with And to do what I want And to do what I please Is first of my to-do list But every once in a while I think about her smile One of the few things I do miss But baby I've to go Baby I've got to know Baby I've got to prove it And I'll see you when you get there But I'm going on And I'm prepared to go it alone I'm going on May my love lift you up to the place you belong I'm going on And I promise I'll be waiting for you oh oh oh
