I go down the beaten track                             

Along the river with an empty bag

At the end she said to me                     

Why are you here with the autumn leaves?

Cause this is my life, my friend   

And this is my time to stand

Now this is my life, my friend         

And I can't be no one else

I'm done, tipping on my toes                      

Strike an iron, and attack my soul

and this is my time to stand       

Now this is my life, my friend         

and I can't be no one else

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna fight                                                   

I don't wanna hide, I just wanna stay free, to be me

I don't wanna win, I don't wanna lose

I don't wanna play, I just wanna remember, oh my name
