He was a daytime sleeper   He never would go much deeper   Than his mother and dad expected    Another one so neglected   It was a blessing in disguise   'Cause one day he opened up his eyes       Chorus:   And started to sing of love just to find it   He started to sing his way to the light   He was born with the master key   To unlock a melody and make it right       They told him to buckle down and pay attention   They taught him to swallow his dreams and his ambitions   So he followed their rules of life by intimidation   To the point where he couldn't find an inspiration   Then he began to wonder why   And suddenly opened up his eyes       Repeat chorus       He found it, a reason   To open his wings and rise above his world of pain   He knows it, he shows it   And so he will sing of love       Never again will he beg to be heard by the powers that be   Never again will he change all his words, 'cause he's gotta be free   He's been there before and he's learned to ignore what they want him to see   He'll write down the truth and he'll sing it to you, you don't have to agree   And no one will ever hold him down   Because of the freedom that he found       Repeat chorus
