I bet I'm not the only one
Who talks to the river
Sings to the sun
Cries a little when the day is done
I bet I'm not the only one.
I know mine's not the only heart
Battered, bruised, torn apart,
Skipping beats
Right from the start,
I know mine's not he only heart.
Some times it seems
You are walking in a dream.
Your legs are heavy,
Can't escape the crowd,
All you want to do is scream out loud.
Oh my soul,
Tell the director you reject the role.
You're never never never never never gonna be
Nobody, nobody, nobody, said,
Oh my heart,
Tell the producer you accept the part.
You're always gonna, always gonna, always gonna be,
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody.
Always gonna be.
I know mine's not the only mind,
Crack for a minute, get left behind.
Then the peaceful path's
So hard to find.
I know mine's not the only mind.
Down every road you go,
So much to learn, so much to know.
Is it fate alone or do you get to choose
A piece of this rock that is just for you?
Compassion and the sorrow,
The turning of the wheel.
All the dreams that we must borrow,
All the anger you still feel.
But
Oh my soul,
Tell the director you reject the role.
You're never never never never never gonna be
Nobody, nobody, nobody, said,
Oh my heart,
Tell the producer you accept the part.
You're always gonna, always gonna, always gonna be,
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody.
Always gonna be.
I bet I'm not the only one
Who talks to the river,
Sings to the sun.
Cries a little when the day is done,
I bet I'm not the only one.
I know mine's not the only heart,
Battered, bruised, torn apart,
Skipping beats,
Right from the start,
Mine is not he only heart.
Oh my soul,
Tell the producer you accept the role.
Always gonna be, always gonna be,
Somebody, somebody.
