I have a tale to tell Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well I was not ready for the fall Too blind to see the writing on the wall A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me I know where beauty lives I've seen it once I know the warmth she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside you can't take that from me... A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me... The truth is never far behind You've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again? If I ran away I'd never have the strength to go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart...? Will it grow cold? (Will it grow cold?) The secret that I hide Will I grow old? How will they hear? When will they learn? How will they know...? A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me... The truth is never far behind You've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again...? A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then it will burn inside of me...

There is no question that good fortune is in store for you I see success, I see a growth in everything you do The shadow passing leaves you boneless, leaving me in your eye Giving you in has spot a ton of secrets in your throne You are the sea, you are the star, you'll have a special view You'll find a smile at a time with everything you do Give me your shorts, give me a light, give me a little kid Well here we are now, tell it to me like it is Here we are now, tell it to me like it is Here we are now, tell it to me like it is

I am the story of a man Who makes his way on his own Don't need no kind of direction from no one I got myself a pretty old soul Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live I'm a giant of a man I do what I please I got respect for all that's around me and expect the same for me So go ahead do what you want Whatever your release I'm just looking for a little quiet and my own kind of peace Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live I'm gonna soar like an eagle My wings will carry me away I got the heart of a lion And I get stronger everyday I like the finer things in life At least what's fine to me I got music and people to love and that sure does suit my needs Sitting in the sun with my Favorite song and a little bit of weed Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live I'm gonna soar like an eagle My wings will carry me away I got the heart of a lion And I get stronger everyday I'm gonna soar like an eagle My wings will carry me away I got the heart of a lion And I know what kind a man I am And I'm gonna do it right I'm gonna do it right Ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live
