In a far and distant galaxy

Fills his life with pointless things

do do do do do

do do do do do
G
Safe to say that
C Em
I don't think you understand!
Dm
There's nowhere left to turn

Walls keep breaking

Time is like a leaf in the wind

Either it's time worth spent

or time I've wasted.
Don't waste it.

and wonders why he hears no sound
Em
Frantically searching his dreams
G C
he wonders what it's all about

do do do do do

do do do do do

Safe to say that

I don't think you understand!

To be free
To be son
