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


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
