High Command

In a world often dark and cold to the touch
So many souls feel they don’t have much
They gather around someone else’s flame
Try to steal some light and make a name
Maybe catch the wave of someone else’s fame
Next thing you know you’re their master plan
Have a ticket to ride, you’re their candy man
They harness your dream till you become the pawn
And you wake up one day where you don’t belong
A sun in the sky of someone else’s dawn
Got to own your own dream
Follow your own plan
No one can lead you
To you promised land
The day will come
You’ll have to take a stand
A man’s own heart
Got to be his high command
You may never know what’s lying in wait
Got to post guard at your kingdoms gate
But what ever comes, keep what you love in sight
And don’t point your gun at every noise in the night
A battle can’t be won if it’s not yours to fight
They’ll hand you the moon
But then you’re bound to pay
Sometimes to stand your ground
You got to walk away
