Lyrics
FREE RIDE TO NOWHERE
I told her I was so lonely,
She said: Who isnt today?
Try to make it happen or you'll lose the way.
For getting this body, she claimed,
we lose the soul,
It's a reason for compromises, it's the price we've paid.
Besides, inside, aren't we all the same?
Need love and understanding,that's all we crave.
I said, I'd love you forever.
She said: Who really cares?
But if it makes you happy, go ahead anyway.
I'm out on the road alone,
She's still not there,
Its in the way we live our life,
Our fantasies are spared...
At heart, in mind, do we need to share?
Peace, love, understanding, Could it change the world?
Its been awhile since Ive seen her,
Her words still ring clear:
Don't wait for tomorrow, baby:
Its a Free Ride to Nowhere!
At heart, in mind,
Aren't we all the same?
Peace, Love & Understanding,
Could it change the world?
