All these attitudes are dragging me down

Getting under my skin, turning me all around

I've got to find a way to get out of this place

 

Every day it's the same ole blues

I've got to give up my life just to pay my dues

What I need right now is a change of pace

 

You can form your opinions of me

You can go ahead and speak your mind

Say if I don't like what I'm doing

I can leave it behind

 

Well, there's one thing I can say to you

You have my prayer and sympathy

Cause while you're drowning in your misery

Trying to change the world

I'll be reaching for my destiny

 

Aren't you the perfect one

Well, who ever gave you the sun

There's an answer for everyone

But it's easier said than done

 

 

You walk around mighty proud of yourself

Always looking to find fault in somebody else

What you need to do is take a look inside

 

Who's the image in the mirror today

Is there room to improve, are you happy this way?

Won't you ask yourself

"Am I satisfied?"

 

You can keep your opinions of me

You can drive yourself completely insane

But while you're beating out your brains

Trying to figure it all out

I'll be walking away in the rain

 

Well, there's one thing I can say to you

You have my prayer and sympathy

Cause while you're drowning in your misery

Trying to change the world

I'll be reaching for my destiny

 

chorus repeat
