Volver - A Mind of My Own

Grew up in a town that´s hardly worth its name

called the city of gold but cold was what I became

wanted to live my life in an alternative way

but the choice was to get in line or to move away

I could never live my life by the norms or by their rules

´cause frankly, it´s a society for fools

I could never let myself being told what´s wrong or right

I've got a mind of my own and it´s quite all right

and as time moved on, I moved away

destroyed a lot of relationships and I had nowhere to stay

but I can´t complain, I got nothing to regret

My life is what I make of it, what you see is what you get

today I´m proud for the choices that I made

the path I walk although the price I have to pay

try hard to keep it up each and every day

I still struggle with myself but friends and family makes it OK
