Sometimes I ask myself, "Is this the life I want to have?"
Are you still satisfied with the situation
That you've had for many years now?
Time is movin' on your childhood is gone
But you don't realize that the game it isn't won
Blind you think that you're safe at home
But the fall is near if you carry on
18 years of freedom - where have they gone?
Try to understand - you must search to take and give before you're old
You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own
Break out the change is drawing near
Decisions to stop, to turn and stare
Solutions my thoughts are getting clear
I'm leaving and I no longer care
Spread my wings and fly among the clouds,
I feel so free, I've left the world behind
Now I know what I have missed
I'll never give it back, my life's just begun
One chance....
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Take it all away!
Mother!
Mother!
Take it all away!
Throw it all away, I'm not satisfied at all
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again
Throw it all away, I'm not ever gonna be the same again

No-one commented on this yet? It's an amazing song. It's very similiar in meaning to "Opportunity" on Land of the Free II. It's pretty obvious, all about how the last easy, peaceful 18 years of one's life have past and it's time now to live independently ("You must learn - you must learn to live your life, just on your own"), throw away all the constraints of childhood ("Mother! Take it all away!")and that despite the difficulty of growing up, your life is not over. ("I'll never give it back, my life's just begun")
