The Ballad Lyrics

No I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
I pray to see another dayMy heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever will? I know we are freeThe games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being aliveNow I know the means to my oppression are all lies
The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I'd ever learned
I know we are freeYeah
Don't go no
No don't go back, just realizeI've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intend now to make my own rules
Dagger's edge cut the line, I've been down that road
Too many timesWhat's to fear, fear no more
Show my conscience what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done so do as you willI'm keeping alive
Go on, no don't look back

Just realize where you've goneWhere are you going to?
No life's not done with you
You've only just begun, to live your life for you
