I ain't trying to be nothing but me, I said to 'em

But they keep pushing, pushing me up that hill

And I've had my shares of ups and downs

I've been 'round and 'round

I've loved and I've lost

But I keep making, making up my mind

And it took a little time for me to figure out

That I'm never really ever gonna figure it out

So I keep wasting all my time.

And oh, I've been down a lonely road

And when I go, just lay my body cold

And dance around it like the children in the sun

Just keep in mind that I'll be looking on.

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time.

I never really got the time that I needed to do it

But I got through it, through it all before

And I was freer than a bird once but I never knew it

So I blew it, trying to get it all.

And oh, I've been down a lonely road

And when I go, just lay my body cold

And dance around it like the children in the sun

Just keep in mind that I'll be looking on.

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time.

But I hope someday I'll get that peace of mind I've been looking for

But for now I need a little time to grow

And I know, I'll finally get the chance to drive that open road

But for now, I'll just keep working for my ghost.

I hope that someday I'll get peace of mind

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time

I hope that someday I'll look back and smile

I just needed a little time, I just needed a little time.
