two young eyes have seen the sights
of the discouraging masses pressing down
every time this child expressed a dream
encouragement never seemed to be mainstream
two growing ears have heard the sounds
of a multitude of people all the same
frightened by anything that's different
and handing out large amounts of shame
but i know deep down in my black sheep soul
that they don't have me under their control
and i will not act out anyone else's role
cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
reading all the books i ever can
never really getting an answer or a plan
but even so, i knew not to stop
the world is mine, and ill never drop
ask me again how i grew up
nothing more painful, than an a empty cup
until i found just the right flock
I was out by seven o'clock
two grownup hands have built this life
while tuning out the skeptical voices
whose life am i really expected to live
when i'm the one who makes the choices
but i know deep down in my black sheep soul
that they'll never have me under their control
and i will not act out anyone else's role
cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
but i know deep down in my black sheep soul
that they don't have me under their control
and i will not act out anyone else's role
cause i'm here deep down in my black sheep soul
