Iron Maiden — The Educated Fool

[Verse 1] I'm an educated fool So I don't know what is I'm supposed to do About this awkward situation That's been forced down right upon me As I'm walking down into On my own into the valley of life Got a lifetime of experience I've got so much to give [Verse 2] Open the page on chapter one Could this just be that life's just begun Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you've been taught [Verse 3] Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened The door to the book of life Or is it death? Is there ever any way out? Someone's looking down on me To the very inner core of my soul They won't tell me what they see But I really want to know [Chorus 1] I want to live my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return [Verse 4] Do you really want to be Just another one statistic Or feel that you really should aspire? That you really do deserve more? Do you ever really feel That you have so much potential inside? What you really have to give Could be realised much more [Chorus 1] I want to live my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return [Bridge] Time will flow and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow Time will flow and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow [Guitar Solos] [Chorus 2] I want to feel what life's like respond I want to meet my father beyond I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight I want to live my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires [Bridge] Time will flow and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow Time will flow and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow [Outro] The educated fool
