Story Behind The Song

Song about breaking away. It is about following your inner voice and call instead of conforming to expected norms.

Song Description

My Life

Lyrics

Don't call my cell tonight
I'm tied to the wind and travellin light
I've overdosed on the daily grind
I hear the winds I havn't heard some time...

Got my little sail open on the open sea
feel the wild tide rollin in for me
and the song I hear in the waves agree

Chorus:
(to) Cut loose from this dead-end shore
follow hard the oceans roar and
Hoist the sail of a sleeping dream
see where the wind leads

Cut the lines on the chains of men
Never saw too much - from following them
Let the winds of heav-en steer my course...
from here on out

You should trade all your reason - for a poor man's rhyme
ride out of this town - on the first wave ya find
and the hope of a heaven - you will find
when you leave yours all behind

Will you join the ranks of the wild at heart?
Will you live your life and not play some part?
Will you break free with all your heart?
The only way to start...(is to)

[chorus]

So why do we wait to cut the chains?
when you have nothin you got nothing to save
If it's all for riches you'll lose it all one day

As for me I'll stay outside
From here I can see the other side
And the song I hear I in the rising tide -
echos in my mind
