I kiss the day, there can be no other answer   Turn back the time and let me in   I look away as they stare and all their glances   Now I can tell you where I've been      All alone inside myself   I guess I never knew which way to go   The time has come to know yourself   And I don't want to live that way again   Again, again, again      I'm miles away as I look into the water   And there's a tide that pulls me in   The missing page where there'll be   The sons and daughters   I live and die it's hard to take      Safe within this higher ground   The pleasure and the pain has come and gone   I have been once lost now found   I don't want to live   I don't want to live      There's a light in the distance   And a voice that cries freedom   There's a child in the mirror   Much too long he's been grievin'      I have stumbled thru' madness   Now I've made my decision   And I don't want to live that way again      There's a light in the distance   And a voice that cries freedom   There's a child in the mirror   Much too long he's been grievin'      I have stumbled thru' madness   Now I've made my decision   And I don't want to live that way again      So I, I pull down the shutters   And I, I wave my resistance   And I wait for the sirens   That will ring thru' my head      I was cast as a leper   Now I've replaced my religion   And I don't want to live that way again   And I, I don't want to live that way again      I really don't want to live   I have replaced my religion   [Incomprehensible]   And I don't want to live   And I don't want to live that way again
