about

A song about finding oneself and oneself's place in the world...

lyrics

Well, we all wear different faces to hide the way we feel
And we wear them for the longest time and forget which ones are real
And when I looked behind the mask, I didn't like the man I found
So I went out searching for myself, I just took the long way round

I went to see the great and the good, to see what they might say
But neither priest nor politician could help me find my way
There were times when I should have raised my voice but I left without a sound
So I went out searching for myself, I just took the long way round

I travelled far, only to find
The answers were inside me all the time

Well, now my journey's over, I'm not looking any more
I finally found out who I am and the things that I stand for
I don't suffer fools and I question rules and I always stand my ground
I went out searching for myself, I just took the long way round

I went out searching for myself, I just took the long way round
