Cause this is my life my friend and this is my time to stand

I go down the beaten track, along the river with an empty bank

At the ned she said to me: “Why are you here with the autumn leaves?”

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can’t be no one else

I’m done, tipping on my toes, strike an iron adn attack my soul

Misty moon, you’re gonna see, I’ve got you blues to get on my feet‘

Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can’t be no one else

I don’t wanna run; I don’t wanna fightI don’t wanna hide;

I just wanna stay free, to be me I don’t wanna win;

I don’t wanna loseI don’t wanna play; I just wanna remember,

oh I’m my name

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand

Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can’t be no one else

‘Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can’t be no one else

‘Cause this is my life, my friend
