Mr. Greene

asked me yesterday

boy what do you want to be

with some work

in ten years or so

you could be sitting here just like me

he said your future looks crystal clear

I just gotta get away from here

CHORUS

I want to be an eagle soaring high

sign my name across the sky

I gotta break free before I die

before another day

before another day goes by

My mother said

just the other day

boy get your feet on the ground

she looked at me

in such a way

I said Ma

please don't bring me down

I said my future is crystal clear

just gotta get away from here

CHORUS

Before I waste another minute

live my life without me in it

CHORUS
