Lyrics
i will not be commanded
For my father to come find me like he said, i left my home still as a child
held back the pain behind my tears
I never found my father, so i waited many years
But i m telling you and i hope that i am heard, there s a freedom that everyone deserves, i never found my mother either
for my father to come find me like he said
i will not let my future go on
I never found my mother either, i walked a thousand sorry miles, he said my boy you ve got to run
I never found my mother either, i made brothers of a different kind instead, held back the pain behind my tears
at the time i didn t know
Towards disaster, i left my home still as a child
For my father to come find me like he said, i know there s greed and there s corruption
he said my boy you ve got to run
I walked a thousand sorry miles, in that time i was alone
there s a freedom that everyone deserves
for my father to come find me like he said
A hero to the masses, don t wait for me, at the time i didn t know
Held back the pain behind my tears, just how hard the wind could blow
without the help of my soul
To those born without chances, for my father to come find me like he said, i left my home still as a child
but i m telling you and i hope that i am heard
A hero to the masses, at the time i didn t know, so i waited many years
So many years without my home, so i waited many years
I never found my father, i never found my mother either, i never found my father
don t wait for mum
i know there s greed and there s corruption
In that time i was alone, i never found my mother either
I walked a thousand sorry miles, a hero to the masses, i walked a thousand sorry miles
