I gotta find peace of mind/ I know another cord...I gotta find peace of mind/ See, this what that voice in your head says/ When you try to get peace of mind...I gotta find peace of mind, I gotta find peace of mind/ He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/ He says there's no me without him, please help me forget about him/ He takes all my energy, trapped in my memory/ Constantly holding me, constantly holding me/ I need to tell you all, all the pain he's caused/I need to tell I'm, I'm undone because/ He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/ He says it's impossible without him, but I know it's possible/ To finally be in love, and know the real meaning of/ A lasting relationship, not based on ownership/ I trust every part of you, 'cause all that I... All that you say you do/ You love me despite myself, sometimes I fight myself/ I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do/ With someone so insecure, someone so immature/ Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me/ You made my desire pure, you made my desire pure/ Just tell me what to say, I can't find the words to say/ Please don't be mad with me, I have no identity/ All that I've known is gone, all I was building on/ I don't wanna walk with you, how do I talk to you/ Touch my mouth with your hands, touch my mouth with your hands/ Oh I wanna understand, the meaning of your embrace/ I know now I have to face, the temptations of my past/ Please don't let me disgrace, where my devotion lays/ Now that I know the truth, now that it's no excuse/ Keeping me from your love, what was I thinking of?/ Holding me from your love, what was I thinking of?/ You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind/ You are my peace of mind, that old me is left behind/ He says it's impossible, but I know it's possible/ He says it's improbable, but I know it's tangeable/ He says it's not grabbable, but I know it's haveable/ Cause anything's possible, oh anything is possible/ Please come free my mind, please come meet my mind/ Can you see my mind, oh/ Won't you come free my mind?/ Oh I know it's possible/ Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything/ Anything, anything, anything, anything/ Anything, anything, anything, anything, anything/ Oh free! Free, free, free your mind/ Free, free your mind... free, free your mind/ Free, free, free, free your mind/ Oh, it's so possible, oh it's so possible/ I'm telling you it's possible, I'm telling you it's possible/ Free, free... free, free... free, free... get free now/ Free, free... free, free, free, free... free, free/ You're my peace of mind, that old me is left behind/ You're my peace of mind, you're my peace of mind/ He's my peace of mind, he's my peace of mind/ He's my peace of mind, he's my peace of mind/ What a joy it is to be alive/ To get another chance/ Everyday's another chance/ To get it right this time/ Everyday's another chance.
