I’ve been everywhere that I want to go
I know all the things that I want to know
So why should I have to keep on living
When I don’t want to?
I’ve seen all the things that I came to see
I’ve been everything that I want to be
So why should I have to keep on living
When I don’t want to?
Why should I have to keep on living
For you?
I’ve wrung up the flags and I’ve watched the birds
I’ve opened the books and I’ve seen the words
So why should I have to keep on living
When I don’t want to?
A stand makes a man and it makes amends
An eye is a lie when it just pretends
So why should I have to keep on living
When I don’t want to?
Why should I have to keep on living
For you?
I’ve said everything that I want to say
There aren’t any games left for me to play
So why should I have to keep on living
When I don’t want to?
Why should I have to keep on living
For you?
