"Give me that hammer
Give me that scythe
I am ready to earn the right
To be called brother
To be names father
I'm going to wake up in the night

Let me break in dusty air
I can take it anywhere
Let me absorb
every monster
One day I'll meet you in the air

Well there were many here before me
Who have suffered hard and long
I'm not going to act like I'm a saint now
The burdens held by greater men
would surly break my back
You can be damn sure of one thing babe
I am always coming back

Now I'm going to prove to me
I am worthy of my liberties
I don't feel I must conform
I know I offer so much more

Well I could go and hit the road
And travel far and wide
I still got a thing or two to learn
(and for to find)
There'll be times I feel
the open road is the only home for me
You can be damn sure of one thing babe
my real home is you and me

I'm not missing out on
All things I couldn't bear to lose

I'm not missing out on
All the things I didn't ever chose

So don't devote your life to a
set of guidelines not meant for you
Your're not slaving for your children
If you're a cog in their machine

But I do feel a duty
its just written for and by me
For the people, by the people
What a lie boy, what a dream"
