| I left my home still as a child, I walked a thousand soary miles |
| To wait for my father, to gather up his tools |
| He said my boy you’ve got to run, don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum |
| We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move |
| So I waited many years, held back the pain behind my tears |
| For my father, to come find me like he said |
| And in that time I was alone, so many years without my home |
| I made brothers of a different kind instead |
| And at the time I didn’t know, just how hard the wind could blow |
| Towards disaster, and the things that I would see |
| I never found my father, I never found my mother |
| Even would I know in my lifetime I will be |
| A hero into the masses, to those born without chances |
| There’s a freedom that everyone deserves |
| I know there’s greed and there’s corruption |
| I’ve seen death and mass destruction |
| But I’m telling you, and I hope that I’m heard |
| I will not be commanded |
| I will not be controlled |
| And I will not let my future go on |
| Without the help of my soul |
| And I will not be commanded |
| And I will not be controlled |
| And I will not let my future go on |
| Without the help of my soul |
| And I will not be commanded |
| And I will not be controlled |
| And I will not let my future go on |
| Without the help of my soul |
| I will not be commanded |
| I will not be controlled |
| And I will not let my future go on |
| Without the help of my soul |
