It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

I've given it up
I've taken over
My life is mine

To continue on
in the world this drab
I'll forge a path

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

I'm tired of this
and I'm tired of that
I'm over it now

Moving on from here
There's a place to go
Always another

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

Don't stomp me down
I walk on my ground
Always another

Forgive me or not
I won't wait for the answer
Forgive me or not
I'm no longer your cancer

Don't stomp me down
I'll make it somewhere
Perhaps not here
and perhaps not there

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

Was I worth it to you
When I was there each day?
Now I'm worth it to you
Now that I've gone away.

Don't stomp me down
I walk on my ground
Take me away
or spin me around

I'm moving on
I'm going away
To live with my life
To grow with each day

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

Build me a bridge
and I'll tear it right down
Don't stomp me down
I walk on my ground

I'll run away
Fast and so far
I've got to go
I'm getting in the car

Don't stomp me down
Don't throw me out
I walk on my ground
and my ground is without

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

I've killed my spirit
there's only one to blame
don't you dare take it on
Mine is my shame

Therefore you will go
and live on your own
You'll fall under and over
though the world won't be shown

Don't stomp me down
I walk on my ground
My ground walks me down

It's not tried
It's not true
It's not a lie
I am through

I'll go for another
the spirit will be
a light in the darkness
someday I shall see

Don't stomp me down
I'll go about my business
Don't stomp me down
I'm heading for my wishes

The road lay ahead
It doesn't care where I go
Straight on until morning
I can't take the blow

Be with it in thought
Know yourself not
Don't stomp me down
Untie the knot

It's not tried
It's not true
I am through
