Take my hand
  And don't let go
  Trust this man
  And let it flow
    Don't take me down
  Cause I'm not done
  Don't steal my crown
  Before it's won
  The wide expanse
  The wheel of chance
  Will turn my way
  The sky will not be gray
    I don't wanna be like other people are
  Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
  Don't wanna have to work like other people do
  I want it to be free, I want it to be true
    Take my hand
  And don't let go
  Trust this man
  And let it flow
    I drank in every bar in town
  I filled my cup when I was down
  I saw the things I wanted to see
  Became the man I wanted to be
  But then somehow I lost my way
  I've got to get back there today
    I don't wanna be like other people are
  Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
  Don't wanna have to work like other people do
  I want it to be free, I want it to be true
    I don't wanna be like other people are
  Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
  Don't wanna have to work like other people do
  I want it to be free, I want it to be true
    I don't wanna be like other people are
  Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car
  Don't wanna have to work like other people do
  I want it to be free, I want it to be true
    I don't wanna be like other people are
  Don't wanna own a key, Don't wanna wash my car
  I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light
  I want it to be free, I thought that I was right
    Tought that I was right
  Tought that I was right
  Tought that I was right
  Tought that I was right
  Tought that I was right
  Tought that I was right
