lyrics

I'm alive, a world inside my mind,
And I know you know I'm a Forest Child
I'm alive, you know that and I'm
Begging you to come home

I'm alive, a world inside my mind,
And I see you see I'm a Forest Child

They left me here to die
But would I satisfy?
No, I raised my arms, I cried,
I cried out, "I'm a Forest Child"

Every sign the Old Ones left behind,
Every line a guide
For the Spirit Side
"What is truth, and what's in a lie?"
"Who is God, and who am I?"

Disillusion adds to the confusion
Where did it all go wrong?
I smiled, I sold, I did as they told
The money piled up,
But what happened to my soul?

When they leave you to die,
Oh, tell me now,
Will you satisfy?
Or raise your arms and cry,
Will you cry out, "I'm a Forest Child"?

It's not about the fortune
It's not about the fame
It's not about the fortune
It's not about the fame
It's not about the fortune
It's not about the fame
It's not about the fortune
It's not about the fame
