ENTITLED
ENTITLED
The world don’t owe me nothing, though I always want it to
Don’t owe me happiness, don’t owe me a love like you
Don’t owe me a single thing, even when I’m on my knees
Not the dreams I took for granted, not the joys I thought were free But I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you
And play, let me play just one more song
That’s my rescueThe world don’t owe me flowers, though I planted seeds with care
I nurtured hopes in fertile soil, but found the harvest bare
No blossoms bright to cheer my soul, no fragrance in the air
Just wilted leaves and thorns that prick, reminding me life’s not fair Yet I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you
And play, let me play just one more song
That’s my rescueThe world don’t owe me sunshine, don’t owe me what I need
Don’t owe me a reason why the nights are long and bleak
Don’t owe me an explanation for all that’s gone awry
The world keeps turning, heedless of my plaintive cry Sometimes I think the world should bend, should heed my every plea
But the universe is vast and cold, indifferent to you and me
It spins on its axis, stars burn bright, without a thought for my plight
The world don’t owe me nothing, and that’s a hard truth to fight But I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you
And play, let me play just one more song
That’s my rescueThe world don’t owe me a highway, a smooth road to flee my woes
No map to guide me, no signs to point where the healing goes
Don’t owe me a train, to carry me away from here
No ticket to a better place, no escape from the fear Yet in this truth, I find a strength, a way to stand tall
If the world owes me nothing, then I owe it nothing at all
I can choose my path, make my own way, without waiting for a sign
The world may not owe me, but I owe myself to shine When I play that song, the notes rise up, like birds taking flight
They carry my sorrows, my fears, my doubts, into the endless night
The melody weaves a blanket warm, to shield me from the cold
In the rhythm, I find my heartbeat, strong and bold That’s my rescue, my sanctuary, my peace
In the music, I find release
My rescue, my rescue
Don’t owe me happiness, don’t owe me a love like you
Don’t owe me a single thing, even when I’m on my knees
Not the dreams I took for granted, not the joys I thought were free But I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you
And play, let me play just one more song
That’s my rescueThe world don’t owe me flowers, though I planted seeds with care
I nurtured hopes in fertile soil, but found the harvest bare
No blossoms bright to cheer my soul, no fragrance in the air
Just wilted leaves and thorns that prick, reminding me life’s not fair Yet I will lay down my troubles on the ground in front of you
And play, let me play just one more song
That’s my rescueThe world don’t owe me sunshine, don’t owe me what I need
