Mr. Greene
asked me yesterday
boy what do you want to be
with some work
in ten years or so
you could be sitting here just like me
he said your future looks crystal clear
I just gotta get away from here
CHORUS
I want to be an eagle soaring high
sign my name across the sky
I gotta break free before I die
before another day
before another day goes by
My mother said
just the other day
boy get your feet on the ground
she looked at me
in such a way
I said Ma
please don't bring me down
I said my future is crystal clear
just gotta get away from here
CHORUS
Before I waste another minute
live my life without me in it
