Time after time we Walk past the window And never see the ashes on the ground Night after night Watching the sky move Never feel the earth spinning 'round I didn't see you fallin' I couldn't hear you callin' Born with eyes wide open, never learn to see I never meant to hurt you Was right there crying with you Why do we harm the only thing we want to be? Trying to follow Every footstep I feel so lost along the way Reading the scripture Straight from the gospel Never understanding what they say Yeah, I didn't see you fallin' I never heard you' callin' I've got my eyes wide open But haven't learned to see, yeah I never meant to hurt you Was right there crying with you Why do we harm the only thing we want to be I just gotta be Me I just gotta be Me, yeah I didn't see you fallin' I never heard you callin' I've got my eyes wide open but never learned to see, yeah I never meant to hurt you Was right there crying with you We only cage the very thing we want to free I just wanna be I just wanna be Gotta, gotta be, uh I just wanna be I gotta be, I wanna be Gotta, gotta Gotta, gotta be me Just wanna be I wanna be, ow Yeah, ow, yeah
