Headed out for a busy street
This night has never felt so sweet
But there's one thing I've got to admit
A filthy life is a life unfit
So why can't I get away?
Leave the past all behind me
Show me the things I never bothered to see
Help me to look around
For those who have been downed
Give me a chance to live
Even though I'm not one to forgive
Leave all the past behind me
Today I feel so alive
Looks as if it were worth the strive
Nothing can stop me now
No one can make me bow
But why can't I get away
Leave the past all behind me
Show me the things I never bothered to see
Help me to look around
For those who have been downed
Give me a chance to live
Even though I'm not one to forgive
Leave all the past behind me
No other person will
Live the life that's a thrill
I don't want to be normal
I don't want to be formal
I just want to be me
Leave the past all behind me
Show me the things I never bothered to see
Help me to look around
For those who have been downed
Give me a chance to live
Even though I'm not one to forgive
Leave all the past behind me
