I've seen it with my own eyes,

How the days of the wise

Without the luxury of leaving (leaving)



The touch and feeling of freeze,

intangible technically

Something you've got to believe in (believe in)



Connect the cause and effect,

One foot in front of the next

This is the start of a journey (journey)



And my mind is already gone,

And left their other alone,

Somehow this doesn't concern me (concern me)



You can stand right there if you want...



But I'm going on,

And I'm prepared to go it alone

I'm going on,

To a place in the sun that's nice and warm



I'm going on, and I'm sure they'll have a place for you, too-oooo-ooohh



In love that needs what they want,

And doesn't want what they need

I want nothing to do with (to do with)



And to do what I want,

And to do what I please,

Is what's on my to-do list (to-do list)



But every once in a while

I think about her smile,

One of the few things I do miss (do miss)



But baby I've got to go,

Baby I've got to know,

Baby I've got to prove it (prove it)



And I'll see you when you get there...



But I'm going on,

And I'm prepared to go it alone

I'm going on,

Where my love lifts you up to the place you belong



I'm going on, and I promise I'll be waiting for you-ooo-ooooh



[Instrumental break with "oohs" and "ahhs"]
