One More Time

Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you
No one enters
This secret place
The barrier only I embrace
Time is fleeing now
They say
Take time to look inside
And face the change

Dig down deep
To find the man I thought I was
A dog on a treadmill panting
The master pulls the leash, laughing
Now I can't remember why
I needed to run, needed to try so hard

One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to seek by, wind to
Take me home again

Work hard in life boy
There's paradise in the end
Year after year we struggle to gain
The happiness our parents never claimed
They told us all we had to do
Was do what we're told, buy what was sold
Invest in gold, and never get old

One more time around
Is all I ask for now
A star to steer by, wind to
Take me home again
