Lyrics
I never could squeeze into any mold
Not church, school, industry,
not even sexual.
Wondering how I'm gonna survive
Better learn to live in disguise
In a world of culture wars
all pushing their own lies.
All I ever wanted was a place where I could breathe
All I ever wanted was a place where I could be me
All I ever needed so my spirit could feel free
All I needed was a place to call home
I played the game just enough to get on by
Came up with a master plan to live on my own time
A piece of sacred land a shelter for my heart
Learn the secrets of the dead
and learn to heal this heart
.
All I ever wanted was a place where I could breathe
All I ever wanted was a place where I could be me
All I ever needed so my spirit could feel free
All I needed was a place to call home
(Guitar solo)
All I ever wanted was a place where I could breathe
All I ever wanted was a place where I could be me
All I ever needed so my spirit could feel free
All I needed was a place to call home
All I ever wanted was a space where I could breathe
All I ever wanted was a place where I could be me
All I ever needed so my spirit could feel free
All I needed was a place to call home
