I left my home still as a child , I walked a thousand soary miles 
To wait for my father, to gather up his truth 
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 in 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 

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 

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
