Anna Bergendahl Album

I go, down the beaten track
along the river with an empty bag
At the end she said to me: Why are you here, with the autumn leaves?

Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand
Cause this is my life, my friend, and I cant be no one else

Im done, tipping on my toes
strike an iron and attack my soul
Misty moon, youre gonna see
Ive got you blues to get on my feet

Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand
Cause this is my life, my friend, and I cant be no one else

I dont wanna run; I dont wanna fight
I dont wanna hide; I just wanna stay free, to be me
I dont wanna win; I dont wanna lose
I dont wanna play; I just wanna remember, oh my name

Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand)
Cause this is my life, my friend, and I cant be no one else
Cause this is my life, my friend, and I cant be no one else
Cause this is my life, my friend

I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun
Please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down

I am a rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
I am an asphalt flower breaking free but you keep stopping me
Release me
Release me

I am the rain that's coming down on you
That you shielded yourself from with a roof
I am the fire burning desperately but you're controlling me
Release me
Release me
