Tinman from Tinman by Seekers Of The Truth

RAISED IN A FAMILY WHERE THE FIGURE OF AUTHORITY
ALWAYS USED TO COME DOWN ON ME,
I’VE BEEN A PRISONER OF MY ANGER, TRAPPED BY MY FEARS,
I THOUGHT I’D NEVER SEE FREEDOM FOR YEARS
NEVER AGAIN! (x3)
FOR IT DOES NO LONGER WORK FOR ME…

Raised in a family where the figure of authority
Always used to come down on me,
I’ve been a prisoner of my anger, trapped by my fears,
I thought I’d never see freedom for years

I’m the tinman, look like the tinman, live like the tinman – TINMAN!
I’m the tinman, act like the tinman, feel like the tinman

As I was shown, I used violence to express myself
And when I knew I had nothing to say
Now I’m trying to get my pride up off the ground,
My self-value’s gone, my confidence cannot be found

I’m the tinman, look like the tinman, live like the tinman
I’m the tinman, act like the tinman, feel like the tinman

Okay, guys, you know what time it is?
It is said that our thoughts lead to our actions, our actions create our habits,
Which create our character and our character creates our destiny.
So it’s time for me to get a new insight, ’cause it doesn’t work for me anymore!

I’ve opened up the part of me that I wanted to hide away
Instead of crying at what you did to me – WHAT YOU DID TO ME!
I’ve found myself a path I can easily follow,
There’s not even myself to stop me now – OH NO!

I was the tinman, I looked like the tinman, I lived like the tinman
I was the tinman, I felt like the tinman, what happened to the tinman?

I do remember clearly when you used to say
“Life is hard, things will always be this way” – IT WON’T BE MY WAY!
I realize I was some kind of enemy to myself,
As now I know I’m my best friend – OH YEAH!

I was the tinman, I looked like the tinman, I lived like the tinman
I was the tinman, I felt like the tinman, I know I’ll never be the same!

Welcome to my new life!
Never again!
