Self

Self, I said to me, you can't live your life, if you're not free
Go find a tree that's tall tall tall
Sit on top everything below seems so small small small, you got to sing

I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
Yeah yeah yeah

Self, I said to me, you got to look inside, where the people can't see
Go find a tree that's long long long
Think of what went right, what went wrong wrong wrong
you got to sing

I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
Yeah yeah yeah, oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah

Woke up this morning with a dream inside
I said to myself stay in your bed and hide
Ain't no way you need to go out in the world today
When it's full of evil, hatred and pain
I woke up this morning with a woman next to me
She was the same old woman that was in my dream
She said son you'd better step up to the plate and try
Because before you think twice, it's the end of your life
Suddenly it was then when I realized that the world's not against me
But was on my side, so I packed up my bags
Said goodbye to the farm, moved into the city
And it worked like a charm I said

I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
Yeah yeah yeah, oh-oh oh, yeah yeah yeah

Self, I said to me, you can't live your life, in that there tree
You got to come down, face the world,
Every woman, man, child, every boy and girl
You can't find the answers in that tree tree tree

Come down, hold my hand, walk with me me me
You got to sing, we'll be singing yeah yeah yeah yeah!

I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
I want something more from life, so I'll be, I'll be singing
Yeah yeah yeah, oh-oh oh, yeah yeah yeah

Woke up this morning with a dream inside
I said to myself stay in your bed and hide
Ain't no way you need to go out in the world today
When it's full of evil, hatred and pain
I woke up this morning with a woman next to me
She was the same old woman that was in my dream
She said son you'd better step up to the plate and try
Because before you think twice, it's the end of your life
Suddenly it was then when I realized that the world's not against me
But was on my side, so I packed up my bags
Said goodbye to the farm, moved into the city
And it worked like a charm I said
Woke up this morning with a dream inside
I said to myself stay in your bed and hide
Ain't no way you need to go out in the world today
When it's full of evil, hatred and pain
I woke up this morning with a woman next to me
She was the same old woman that was in my dream
She said son you'd better step up to the plate and try
Because before you think twice, it's the end of your life
