All I want is my life back,
is that too much to ask?
For man to live within a shack
is better than behind a mask.
Oh for a life that is simple and pure
for that is all my heart can endure.
My life I gave before I knew
all that there was to be.
For man to live in morning dew
is better than misery.
Oh for a life that is modest and plain
for that is all my soul can sustain.
And now that I have spoke these words,
there is no turning back.
My love I now give to the birds,
my life to a humble shack.
Oh for a life that is once again mine
for that is all my mind can define.
