I'm a simple man with a simple dream In a far from simple time And I payed the price of the road I chose But at least the choice was mine And the times I get the feeling That the journey's end is near But I prefer to die with my head held high Than to live my life in fear I'm a simple man from a time gone by Growing cold and old alone There's a time to run and a time to hide And a time to head for home To forgive and be forgiven If it's the last thing I can do Then in death's release I may find the peace That in life I never knew 'Cause I'm a simple man with a simple dream I may never see come true
