Jim Johnston - Black Sheep Lyrics

Words and music: jim johnston



I grew up inside a world of pains and ordinary things,

That never seemed right in my eyes.

And so my conscience and i, we took flight and stretched our wings,

If you cant see the reason why, let it be,

Just let me dream, let me breathe, and Ill let you dream.

But you know you have the answer,

I see the one man jury in your eyes, and you want to live my life.

I tell myself that there are things that I could never see your way,

Im not saying that its a lie.

I just know I must be free from what youve always hoped Id be,

What good did it do to try?

Let it be, just let me dream, let me breathe, and Ill let you dream.

I dont know who has the answers,

Though a hundred thousand jurors take your side.

But I dont want to live your life.

Telling me that Im the black sheep for doing what I have to, to survive.

Cause I dont want to live your life.

I gave up on all your planes and pains and ordinary things,

I didnt mean it to say goodbye.

But youre not my conscience and i.

We dont talk much anymore, and we both know the reasons why.

Let it go, dont let me go.just cause I dont want to live your life.

We are all just temporary, and I may see it clearly one day,

Why does it always have to be a war?

I dont know who has the answers, I always hoped that I could take my time,

But I cant relive my life.

Dont want to say goodbye, dont want to say goodbye, I cant say goodbye.
