He had enoughnHe couldn't take anymorenHe'd found a placenIn his mind and slammed the doornNo matter how they triednThey couldn't understandnThey washed and dressed himnFed him by handnnYeah! I've left the world behindnI am safe here in my mindnI'm Free to speak with my own kindnThis is my life, this is my lifenI'll decide not younnWithdrawn he'd sit therenStare blank into spacenNo sign of lifenDid flicker on his facenUntil one day he smilednIt seemed as though with pridenThe wind kissed himnGoodbye - and then he diednnYeah! I've left the world behindnI'm safe here in my mindnFree to speak with my own kindnThis is my life, this is my lifenI'll decide not younnKeep the world with all its sinnIt's not fit for livin' innYeah! I will start againnIt can take forever, and ever, and evernAnd ever, but I'll still win.nnHow many like himnAre there stillnWho to us allnSeem to have lost the willnThey lie in thousandsnLank and lostnIs nothing worth this bitter costnnYeah! I've left the world behindnI'm safe here in my mindnFree to speak with my own kindnThis is my life, this is my lifenI'll decide not younnKeep the world with all its sinnIt's not fit for livin' innnBeoynd the realms of death.
