I see the streets all filling in
and nobody’s in disguise.
I see the wars all happening
in each and everyone’s eyes.
I don’t want to let them go,
all the places I come from.
From a memory I recall
many things that I was taught.
so I can love with no defenses
‘cause no one has the answers.
My friends and all you strangers -
I tear down my defenses.
Nothing seems like it used to be
and I need to get a job.
Perhaps this is an opportunity
to discover what I am made of…
am I really as I say...
or a fly in someone's way
or a person who’s not tied
to what people have in mind?
so I can love with no defenses
‘cause no one has the answers.
My friends and all you strangers -
I tear down my defenses.
