The Prophet - Another Prophecy lyrics

Look in my eyes Don't you see there's a fire? You can't believe how it burns inside For I was born cursed With the vision to see All that has been before And all that's gonna be How I can sleep When I know what I dream Will soon become my reality I sit up at night And though I try to fight I know I'm bound to see Another prophecy You don't know how hard it can be When you've got the world at your feet Hanging on each word that you say Begging you for wisdom and to show them the way But God forbid that one day I should make a mistake People insist I was born with a gift They follow me And they ask me if This could be that Or if that could be this They're driving me insane And yet they still persist Give us some sign Of what's coming in time And I just tell them That it's slipped my mind When they say they doubt That I've really forgot I answer it must be I've got a mental block Why do people look up to me I don't want to dream what I dream Just for once I need to be free Take a small vacation and relax on the beach All the other prophets only work once a week Why do people run after me I don't want to see what I see Why don't they just leave me alone If they need an idol They should carve one from stone Or maybe call Mick Jagger Or Sylvester Stallone
