A different man

Hear a wind of change chasing spirits of the past
Ships that pass in the night

See a misty plain of water stirring with each gust
Water lifted by the wind and turning into dust
I come not to seek for answers or look behind closed doors
Please close your eyes when I leave for distant shores
Sail towards the light

I now speak a tongue no one wants to hear
It's the language of the loner who's too numb to fear
Do not grieve for me when my ship passes out of sight
For those willing to fight there is no freedom, god or right

Guide me to the place where I want to be
Let the stars light the way across the sea
Traveling on towards foreign shores and sands
Let the waters wash me clean again
Let my body and my mind flow with the tide
And ask the Lady of the Winds to be my bride
Let the new world see a different man
Under a new sign I'll be born again
