Ten hours at work today
What do I do? I wish I knew
Everyone seems to know but me
But I've been so busy making a living
That I forgot to live
And what would I give
To find something besides
The coal in these mines?
I'm running out of hours
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Who I am
And what of our boy?
What if his track's already set like mine?
It would be so fine
If he never, never had to go
Down in that hole
Where dreams disappear
He needs a map out of here
He needs release
He needs direction
Every little dream needs some protection
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Who I am
And all the while something like regret
Thickens like tar
And falls to the bottom of this life
That I just realized
Is mine
And I'm running out of time
Ann, you know I want the best for us
But how can I go on
When darkness is my dawn?
And my day is just weak lamplight?
I know I've gotta fight
But the way I feel today
Where there's a will there's just no way
I know I've gotta swallow my pride
But I'm choking on it deep inside
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Who I am
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Annalee I just wanna be who I am
Who I am
Who I am
