Damn that dream It always seemed just out of reach When i awoke - i was grabbing smoke Crazy schemes Out of boundaries - out of touch That's what they'd say - then walk away I took my clues - from heroes down through history From people who would challenge all the life's mysteries I'm taking my life back again
Follow your star It's burning inside you Just be who you are Cut cross the grain When those all around you think You've gone insane To tame something wild To try to escape your own skin Is like trying to tie down the wind
Got out of town Where no old memories raise their heads To hold me down Broke the mold Only do what feels like truth I can't be sold My word is gold So while you're young Set in motion every plan that you've begun See the person you'll become It's your life - don't waste it away
Follow your star It's burning inside you Just be who you are Cut cross the grain When those all around you think You've gone insane To tame something wild To try to escape your own skin Is like trying to tie down the wind
Roar - like the rolling thunder Live - like the time is now Shout - to the heights of heaven Believe - when the others doubt Dream - with a faith unbroken Love - with an open heart Try - though your hands are shaking Smile - though you're failling apart
To tame something wild To try to escape your own skin Is like trying to tie down the wind Tie down the wind
