Here To Speak My Mind
Barry Marler
1990 Cabbage Flake Music (BMI)
I'm walking up the stairs, into a room I lived inside
So hard to breath the air I thought I'd surely die
I stand among the things that bear the stamp of only you
Despite this wedding ring, I'm not just any fool
To you and me I have lied
I gotta let you know, gotta let you know
The deep blue sea won't divide
I gotta let you know, you gotta know
I'm here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
I'm in the Oval Office, waiting on the President
I've had my doubts since way before his big accent
There's just a thing or two, they're weighing heavy on my mind
If he'll just listen close I think we'll all be fine
It's true I'm only a common man
But listen to me please, listen to me please
I want to lend you a helping hand
Just listen to me please, I'm ill at ease
But here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
If I could do what my conscience told me
I'd never be where the cold wind blows me
A road to somewhere is paved with something
I'd walk that road if I could find the time
I will speak my mind
I'm walking up the stairs, into a room I lived inside
So hard to breath the air I thought I'd surely die
I stand among the things that bear the stamp of only you
Despite this wedding ring, I'm not just any fool
To you and me I have lied
I gotta let you know, gotta let you know
The deep blue sea won't divide
I gotta let you know, you gotta know
I'm here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
Oh concerned, I'm here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
Here to speak my mind
