[Verse 1]
When the princes and the peasants
Each look back at you the same
When a friend that you had known before
Can't quite recall your name
[Verse 2]
And when each morning there's a cloudy sky
To keep the sun from showing
Then you know you are your own
Sometimes that's all that keeps you going
[Interlude]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
'Neath the chimneys and the rooftops
Of a village safe and sound
No-one sees the face nor hears the feet
That walk the morning ground
[Verse 4]
And the stillness of the alleys
And the highways keeps-a growing
So you say you are your own
And that alone will keep you going
[Verse 5]
Through the dampness of the dawn
Now, by the road you walk alone
You think on days when you had laughed
Or other love you'd known
[Verse 6]
But your head is low, avoiding thoughts
Of times you may be known
When to say you are your own
Ain't quite enough to keep you going
[Outro]
