Ooh, I hear you say attitudes and times have changed
|
And I know the feeling--it's long overdue
|
You say this is a time to right old wrongs
|
Tell me now, if it's true
|
You got the mind, you got the time
|
How long are you gonna wait to do what you want to do now
|
|
You've been around too long
|
Not to notice what's going on in town
|
You've got to understand
|
I'm taking my life in my own hands
|
And gaining ground--look around
|
|
Peace of mind
|
You got yours--I want mine
|
If you really want to do right by me
|
See what you want to see
|
But let me be what I want to be
|
|
'Cause you've been around too long
|
Not to realize what's going on inside
|
I'm just like you
|
I'm doing the best that I can do to make my stride
|
|
