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
