Russell Hitchcock - Best Intentions lyrics

I am not what I seem to be

I mean no harm

I'm not a fake

There's a world alive inside of me

Got a heart that beats

And eyes that see

So don't tune out this frequency

CHORUS

Best intentions don't guarantee

Only love will set you free

Makes no difference long as you live and breathe

Like you, like me

If I believe only what I see

I kiss the dark

I am the thief

Stealing light from all of us in need

Causing grief

Ignorant conceit

So show me love, give me some relief

CHORUS

I came from nowhere like this city street

Everybody's walkin' to a lonely beat

I don't know what they're saying

But I know what they mean

And all their good intentions

Will only chain and fetter me

Take me home

To where I want to be...free

Free..like you, like me, like you, free

CHORUS
