Take my hand

And don't let go

Trust this man

And let it flow



Don't take me down

Cause I'm not done

Don't steal my crown

Before it's won

The wide expanse

The wheel of chance

Will turn my way

The sky will not be gray



I don't wanna be like other people are

Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car

Don't wanna have to work like other people do

I want it to be free, I want it to be true



Take my hand

And don't let go

Trust this man

And let it flow



I drank in every bar in town

I filled my cup when I was down

I saw the things I wanted to see

Became the man I wanted to be

But then somehow I lost my way

I've got to get back there today



I don't wanna be like other people are

Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car

Don't wanna have to work like other people do

I want it to be free, I want it to be true



I don't wanna be like other people are

Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car

Don't wanna have to work like other people do

I want it to be free, I want it to be true



I don't wanna be like other people are

Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car

Don't wanna have to work like other people do

I want it to be free, I want it to be true



I don't wanna be like other people are

Don't wanna own a key, Don't wanna wash my car

I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light

I want it to be free, I thought that I was right



Tought that I was right

Tought that I was right

Tought that I was right

Tought that I was right

Tought that I was right

Tought that I was right
