I'm going nowhere Gotta face up to it Gotta wake up to it I feel so guilty Killing time is a sin A dam burst of dreams flows through me They show me where I could be Flash point feelings flow Through my mind moving When my friends tell me You just can't connect You ain't got no respect They tell me nothing 'Cos I know about that Yes I know about that I'm not gonna take what people say Don't feel that I belong today Sense of freedom and Sense of pride From the mountains to the sea I'll run across this land Looking out for strength and beauty A diamond in the sand And I will chase the four winds over Trying to understand And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands I won't let nobody Turn me off the track Now there's no turning back Won't let no worries Turn my inside down Now there's no room for doubt I'm heading for my destiny And it feels electric to me Flash point feelings flow Thru' my mind I was lonely going nowhere Drowning on dry land I was almost stranded there a Shipwreck on the sand But now I'll chase the whole world over Making my demands And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands From the mountains to the sea I'll run across this land Looking out for strength and beauty A diamond in the sand And I will chase the four winds over Trying to understand And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands I was lonely going nowhere Drowning on dry land I was almost stranded there a Shipwreck on the sand But now I'll chase the whole world over Making my demands And I won't stop until I'm holding Heaven in my hands
