(Steve Harris and Janick Gers)

When you start to take a look within

Do you feel at ease with what you see

Do you think you can have peace of mind

And have self-belief or be satisfied



Do you think you even like yourself

Or really think you could be someone else

Is there something that you'd rather be

Never thought you'd be had the chance to see



All my life I've run away

All my life I tried to hide away



Feel the paranoia creeping in

Like a cancer eating at the skin

Do you feel you've lost yourself esteem

And your self respect, what can you expect



All my life...I've run away

All my life I tried to hide away



All my life...I've run astray

Let my faith...slip away

All my life...I've run astray

Allowed my faith...to drift away



Are you scared to look inside your mind

Are you worried just at what you'll find

Do you really want to face the truth

Does it matter now, what have you got to lose



Try to release the anger from within

Forgive yourself a few immortal sins

Do you really care what people think

Are you strong enough to release the guilt



All my life...I've run away

All my life I tried to hide away



All my life...I've run astray

Let my faith...slip away

All my life...I've run astray

Allowed my faith...to drift away
