My Soul
Vance Charles and the Sonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I say I want it all and then some more
I say I'm scared to fall so shut the door
I kept on hearing this call but I put it on hold
My mountains very tall but I'm unstoppable
Opened my eyes
It's time to ignite my bones
Remove this disguise
And give the world what I've buried below
My Whole Soul
I used to look for ways to find a better way
Calculate and behave in a fixed domain
That was never me I was born free
I thought nothing would change but now everything's changed
Opened my eyes
It's time to ignite my bones
Remove this disguise
And give the world what I've buried below
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
My Whole Soul
Soul
