Lyrics: You've always been living by taking, not giving from innocent fools just like me. The day, when I broke out you started to shout, it was too new, to see me run free. I don't regret a single day since you left me outside. While you sit in and pray I learn how to deal with my pride. Chorus: You won't hold me down no longer, your barriers can't block my mind. You won't hold me down no longer, I'll never be one of your kind. One of your kind. Yes, I hear you giggle, to me it's a riddle how someone can be oh so blind. No, your life in balance's no reason for arrogance. It's your parent's faults you rewind. One day I might stumble and fall. But I know, if I do, you fell for your parent's mistakes, I fell 'cause I tried something new. Chorus: You won't hold me down no longer, your barriers can't block my mind. You won't hold me down no longer, I'll never be one of your kind. One of your kind. So you keep on grinning at those who're not sinning against the own mind like you do. Oh no, I can't help you, don't think that I want to, I got something better to do. Your one-track-minds in uniform march where they ought to go. While you swim towards the waterfall I won't get down with the flow. Chorus: You won't hold me down no longer, your barriers can't block my mind. You won't hold me down no longer, I'll never be one of your kind. One of your kind. Music: The Color Of Music Lyrics: Alexander Pawlowski
