| So many things I don’t understand |
| So many things that I need to know |
| My life’s not working out the way they planned |
| Is there some other way I ought to go |
| I need some time to think |
| I need some time to think |
| I’m just a student on the on the path of life |
| I’m just somebody seeking out the truth |
| I only wanna know whats wrong or right |
| Dont put me down just cause I am a youth |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
| My teachers told me what I need to know |
| They shoved so many things right on my plate |
| They said eat it if I wanna grow |
| I’d like a little time to cogitate |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
| Feel like a ship in a bottle, I’m frightened that I’ll get lost |
| I need somebody to help me make it across |
| Feel like a tune with no beat, somebody help me Take away this cross,* wont you let me be free |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
| I need some time to think — I need some time |
| I need some time to let my brain cool down |
