My Stripes - Marsh, Leo Wood

Oh I've been contained

But there's a power to be set free

My love

Won't you just look in my eyes

See what lies behind the mirror of

A modern life don't suit my

My stripes

I've been waiting laying dormant for

Of this chain to let me go

In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes

My spirit used to tiptoe, oh

Look in my eyes

See what lies behind the mirror you

Look in my eyes

See a light that shines a different hue

In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes

You look in my eye

What do you find but a stranger staying there

Breathing, more alive

Than any life without danger laying there

You look in my eye

What do you find but a stranger staying there

Breathing, I'm more alive

And by your look you see danger laying here

You might be the first man down

You didn't see a queen, but you do right now

And I'm free to wear my heathen crown

I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long

You might be the first man down

You didn't see a queen, but you do right now

And I'm free to wear my heathen crown

I feel the power I've been saving, waiting so long

Waiting so long

In a modern life that don't suit, my stripes
