lyrics

Who Do You Want To Be

If they knew what you did
Would they chase you again
If I knew where you hid
Could you still be my friend
Plan your escape, It’s not too late, can’t you see
But who do you want to be?

If you want to get free
Could you get out of here
Would you go to the sea
Would it all seem so clear
Pack all your things, don’t leave a trace left to see
Who do you want to be?

CHORUS:– Who do you want to be?
Is it hard to see?
Can you climb that hill?
You can get there if you will

You can still change your name
It just can’t be the same
You can find a new place
Where they don’t know your face
You can play with the boys, make a new joyful noise – find your key
But who do you want to be?

You can walk in the sun
Take in the sea breeze
You can chill in the shade
You can fly through the trees
You can find a new life that is free from your strife - if you flee
But who do you want to be?
