Here I am,
On my own.
No safe soul.
No way home.
I’m too far gone.
Not so young.
I can’t keep still.
Bound by my will.
Ooh, ooh, oooohhh…
This fire in me
Just won’t sleep.
I can’t find peace.
Don’t know what I need.
I’ve lost my sight.
Don’t know what’s right.
I chose this life.
I used to know why.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs,
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs,
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
This broken road
Marked with flesh and bone
Has twisted fate,
Has changed my name.
It’s made me forget
Someone I miss.
It’s made me
Someone I hate to be.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs,
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
I ran to find freedom.
I ran for my own reasons.
I lost my way,
And now I can’t stop running.
Oh I can’t stop running.
No, I can’t stop running.
I have nothing left in me.
But I can’t stop running.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
Oh, please remember, Lord,
My mother’s prayers.
Forgive my wrongs,
But don’t forget this rebel’s song.
Ooh, ooh, oooohhh…
