Stray

I gotta flee this cage and
Shake off all the leaves
In this dense city
Of paper trust and heart thieves
I gotta find a place to be free
I gotta find my own brand of America
Gotta find a life less hysterical
Somewhere I can truly believe.

Someday I’ll fly away
Look out of the window
Watch it all fade as it stays
Behind me as I move forward
Without knowing what’s in store
I can’t wait until my heart breaks
Pretty soon I’m gonna go
Yeah, I’m gonna be a stray

Away from deceptive smiles and
Traffic, and concrete things
Oh what a pity
We get trapped  inside these
Self imposed locks with such ease
I need a floor big enough so I can truly dance
I need sky so blue I can fill up without romance
Somewhere I am all that I need

Someday I’ll fly away
Look out of the window
Watch it all fade as it stays
Behind me as I move forward
Without knowing what’s in store
I can’t wait until my heart breaks
Pretty soon I’m gonna go
Yeah, I’m gonna be a stray



I’m sorry I you can’t be it
I’m sorry, but just please quit
Tryin to make me fit a mold
I’ve never done what I’ve been told



Someday I’ll fly away
Look out of the window
Watch it all fade as it stays
Behind me as I move forward
Without knowing what’s in store
I can’t wait until my heart breaks
Pretty soon I’m gonna go
Yeah, I’m gonna be a stray
