(Steve Harris)

I am an educated fool

So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do

About this awkward situation

That's been forced down right upon me



As I'm walking down into

On my own into the Valley of life

Got a lifetime of experience

Yeah I've got so much to give



Open the page at chapter one

Could this just be that life's just begun

Forever within your darker thoughts

Reflecting on everything you've been taught



Never felt this way before

Seems that somebody's just opened the door

To the book of life ...or is it death

Is there ever anyway out



Someone's looking down on me

To the very inner core of my soul

They won't tell me what they see

But I really whant to know



I want to leave my life on my own

I want to lift the unturned stone

I want to walk right into the fire

I want to live out all my desires

I want to go and see the fire burn

I want to see and feel my world turn

I want to know what more there's to learn

I want to pass the point of no return



Do you really wanna be

Just another statistic or feel

That you really should aspire

That you really do deserve more



Do you ever really feel

That you have so much potential inside

What you really have to give

Could be realised so much more



I want to leave my life on my own

I want to lift the unturned stone

I want to walk right into the fire

I want to live out all my desires

I want to go and see the fire burn

I want to see and feel my world turn

I want to know what more there's to learn

I want to pass the point of no return



Time will flow

And I will follow

Time will go

But I will f
