Sometimes when I'm alone, I feel I'm burning up inside
Look up to the stars in the sky, trying to find a 
reason why
My world is painted shades of grey

Sometimes I fly with the wind, when I feel these walls 
are closing in
In these crowded streets I stand, with my guitar in 
hand
I'm such an ordinary man, yes I am
But I'm not a prisoner, no I'm not a prisoner

Only the wind blows to the east
Wish I could live it all again
Hold on, only to your dreams
Only the wind blows to the east

Just yesterday I saw a boy, maybe my reflection in the 
water
Lonely child if the wind should swirl
Don't you know you could change the world
And my life that's slowly fading grey

And when I fly with the wind
When I feel these walls have all closed in
In these crowded streets I'll stand, with my guitar in 
hand
I'm just an ordinary man, yes I am
But I'm not a prisoner, no I'm not a prisoner

Only the wind blows to the east
Wish I could live it all again
Hold on, only to your dreams
Only the wind blows to the east
