He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place

In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand

They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand


Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you


Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life

Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride

The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died


Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind

This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you


Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again

It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win.


[SOLO (Glenn)]

How many like him,

Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will

They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost


Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind

Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you


Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in


[SOLO (K.K.)]


Beoynd the realms of death.
