Man on a Mission

Can you be open and be like yourself?
Unhook the baggage that you put on the shelf
Sitting in circles, feeling complete
With every emotion you wish to delete

And you can blame yourself
Just to hurt like everybody else
Optimism down the drain
Where only thoughts of fear will remain

Can you stop this and stand without shame
With what you believe in ready to proclaim
Can you be stricken and not feel the heat
A man on a mission, he sees no defeat

And you can blame yourself
Just to hurt like everybody else
Optimism down the drain
Where only thoughts of fear will remain
