dayhis will they'll take away    what I've felt    what I've known   
never shined through in what I've shown    never be     never see   
won't see what might have been    what I've felt    what I've known   
never shined through in what I've shown    never free    never me    so
I dub thee unforgiventhey dedicate their livesto running all of hishe
tries to please them allthis bitter man he isthroughout his life the
samehe's battled constantlythis fight he cannot wina tired man they see
no longer caresthe old man then preparesto die regretfullythat old man
here is me    what I've felt    what I've known    never shined through
in what I've shown    never be    never see    won't see what might have
been    what I've felt    what I've known    never shined through in
what I've shown    never free    never me    so I dub the unforgivenyou

SONG: Wherever I May Roam

...and the road becomes my bride   I have stripped of all but pride   so
in her I do confide   and she keeps me satisfied   gives me all I
need...and with dust in throat I crave   only knowledge will I save   to
the game you stay a slave   rover     wanderer   nomad     vagabond  
call me what you will      but I'll take my time anywhere      free to
speak my mind anywhere      and I'll redefine anywhere         anywhere
I may roam         where I lay my head is home...and the earth becomes
my throne   I adapt to the unknown   under wandering stars I've grown  
by myself but not alone   I ask no one...and my ties are severed clean  
the less I have the more I gain   off the beaten path I reign   rover    
wanderer   nomad     vagabond   call me what you will      but I'll take
my time anywhere      I'm free to speak my mind anywhere      and I'll
never mind anywhere         anywhere I may roam         where I lay my
head is home      but i'll take my time anywhere      free to speak my
mind      and I'll take my find anywhere         anywhere I may roam     
   where I lay my head is home      carved upon my stone      my body
lie, but still I roam         wherever I may roam
