Will Not Follow

My aspiration grows and with it grows my pride.
No consolations just frustrations I don’t mind.
I crossed a thousand rivers and never will I tire
But I’ll walk away, I’ll walk away, And take my test of time.

[CHORUS ]

What’s ahead That’s for me to see and …
What I am That’s for me to be and …
Where I go That’s for me to know and …
Now I lead And I will not follow.

My hands they bleed from the pounding on the door.
I fell face down and still I pounded on the floor.
My hear it hurts and my throat it’s gettin’ sore.
But I’ll talk my way, I’ll talk my way
And then I’ll talk some more.

[CHORUS ]

Tomorrow dawn it lights the way for me,
Down a road that goes on and on And on and on and on …
Just survivin’ it ain’t the way to be.
Tried it once and it took it’s toll on me.

He hesitated, never acted in the now.
I never waited, wiped the sweat off of my brow.
They congregated so I looked at them and bowed.
And I’ll have my way, I’ll have my way,
And never turn around.

[CHORUS ]
