Last night I had a desperate dream, I was standing in the winter rain
Footsteps close behind me, somebody called out my name, ohhh
No magic mirrors can erase, these lines of living on my face
Lessons learned and last, ohhh, ohhh
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, I'll take my stand
I was walking in the summer sun, thinking that my life had just begun
How wrong could I be, ohhh, ohhh
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand
(Solo)
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands
Into my own hands, into my own land, I'll take my stand, into my own hands
Footsteps close behind me, somebody called out my name, ohhh
No magic mirrors can erase, these lines of living on my face
Lessons learned and last, ohhh, ohhh
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, I'll take my stand
I was walking in the summer sun, thinking that my life had just begun
How wrong could I be, ohhh, ohhh
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - I'll take my stand
(Solo)
Take this life - into my own hands, make this world - into my own land
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - in my own hands
Take this life - into my own hands, take this world - into my own hands
Take this life - I'll take my stand, take this world - into my own hands
Into my own hands, into my own land, I'll take my stand, into my own hands
