Sides
Side 1 Side 2
Keep yourself in line, they said Keep myself in line? I’ll try
Old people in older homes, I'm a young person in a smallish home
Afraid to leave Who’s already left
The places they were born. The place that I was born.
It’s a dangerous world out there. It’s a beautiful world out there.
You’ll only regret causing yourself I’ll only regret causing myself
The pain of separation and loneliness. The pain of tedium if I stay.
I’ve been around the world, some say, You’ve been around the world? I say!
And I can tell you this is How lovely that you assume
The best place That this place
You’ll ever live in. Is the only heaven .
Don’t be foolish. No one leaves here I know I’m foolish. But I will leave here
Nobody dares to explore the lands beyond. I will dare to explore all the countries beyond.
Lands beyond? Countries beyond?
You’re stupid to even think You’re narrow to even think
That such a place exists. That they are outsiders
When all the world
Not in our neighborhood. Is our neighborhood.
No outsider will affect us here. Everything affects us here.
Our sphere of influence is big enough. The sphere is influence is not just big
No need to extend In a businessman
Past the fields and prairies But it extends far beyond
That we stole from the natives Possessed by every being
So many years ago. From gypsies to kings.
You will regret leaving all this behind I will not regret leaving all this behind.
For happiness is so hard to find. For it is not here that my happiness lies.
