lyrics

"This Thing Called Life"
©2022Heisner, BMI
Lyrics: / Music: Robby Heisner

Why do we always go
Where we don’t want to go
In this thing called life
Why do we always do
What they want us to
In this thing called life

I just want to be myself
And not be someone else

Why can’t we ever say
What we want to say
In this thing called life
And why do we only see
What we’re told to see
In this thing called life

I just want to be myself
And not be someone else

This thing called life

I find myself Looking away
So far away I can’t see
But looking around
I see myself
The man I used to be

I can finally hear
What I need to hear
In this thing called life
And I can finally see
What I need to see
In this thing called life

I can now be myself
And not somebody else
