SHED THIS SKIN

AFTER ALL THE YEARS I’VE SPENT HERE
I FEEL MY DAYS ARE NEARLY DONE
AT THE FIRST CHANCE I’LL SPREAD MY WINGS
SPENT TOO MUCH TIME UNDER THE GUN
I FEEL I’VE WASTED MUCH TOO MUCH
DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY SAY
SO NOW IT’S TIME TO TAKE THE PLUNGE
START LIVING MY LIFE MY OWN WAY

(CHORUS)

SO!
I’LL SHED THIS SKIN
YEH!
SHED THIS SKIN
GET MYSELF SOME PEACE OF MIND
BREAK FREE FROM THE TIES THAT BIND
OH!
I’LL SHED THIS SKIN
YEH!
SHED THIS SKIN

FOR YEARS I’VE NEVER QUESTIONED WHY
I’VE WORKED MY FINGERS TOO THE BONE
NOW I FEEL THAT THE TIME HAS COME
TO WATER ALL THOSE SEEDS UNSOWN
I’LL RAISE THAT TWO FINGERED SALUTE
HEAD OUT TOWARDS THE RISING SUN
I FEEL THAT NEW DAWN IS CALLING
SOMEWHERE WHERE I DON’T HAVE TO RUN

(CHORUS) 

SO I’LL MAKE A VOW
WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
I’LL TAKE A LAST BOW
FINALLY TAKE FLIGHT

(SOLO)

I HAVE THESE PICTURES IN MY HEAD
OF WHERE I WANT MY LIFE TO LEAD
THE ONLY WAY THESE WILL BEAR FRUIT
IS IF I FINALLY TAKE HEED

(CHORUS X 2)

SO!
I’LL SHED THIS SKIN
YEH!
SHED THIS SKIN 

(REPEAT TILL FADE)
