lyrics

(Lyrics & Music by D Matzdorf, © 2017)

I will never be the one who follows
I will never be the one who leads
Everybody has a life of sorrow
Still they flatter to deceive

We will not be free
We will not be free from your spell
We will not be free
We will not be free from your spell

Cross over love when you cross over shadow
Cross over pain when you cross over fear
Cross over wide when you cross over narrow
Cross from there to here

We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free (still, still, still)

Everybody crosses love with patience
Everybody crosses hate with pain
Everybody has a life of sorrow
Can you lose less than you gain?

We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free from your spell (still, still)

I didn’t choose the way of the righteous
I didn’t go for the way of shame
Stay on this track, I’m not going to double back
These are the rules of the game:

Hold onto love when you find it, don’t forget my name
We’re headed for the new frontier
When you lose your head, don’t mind it, it’s just a game
So bring your love over here

Then we, we will remember
How it felt to discover
In the way of a child
And raise love over time, raise love over time

We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free (still, still, still)
We will not be free from your spell (still, still)

I will never be the one who follows
I will never be the one who leads
Everybody has a life of sorrow
So we need to raise love over time, love over time
Love over time, raise love over time

Go on and lose your head
Go on and lose your head
Go on and lose your head
Lose, lose, lose your head

Don’t forget my name, don’t forget my name...
Headed for the new frontier, headed for the new frontier...

Don’t forget my name
