Well I've been trying to imagine
The way things'll go in my life
Will I get my way
And end up doing what I want
I've got to make a move
I've got to make a move out of this corner
I want to learn something good 'bout
Beauty & truth & power
I spent fifteen years trying to get an education
And all I got was fifteen years of total frustration
Now I ain't sayin'
I want to be a saint or a sinner
And I don't want to be sacred
I just want to be trusted
And I don't Want to be sacred
I want to open up myself to the times
Well I've been trying to imagine
The way things'll go in my life
Will I get on top
Get Ahead of the rat race
I've got to make a move
I've got to make a move out of this corner
I want to learn something good 'bout
Beauty & truth & power
I spend all my time trying to get
A little salvation
And all I get is wasted time
And bitter frustration
Now I ain't saying
I want to be a saint or a sinner
How much longer can I wait?
How much longer can I wait?
