The Educated Fool - Iron Maiden

I’m an educated fool

So i don’t know what it 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

Yeah i’ve got so much to give

Open the page at chapter one

Could this just be that life’s just begun

Forever within your darker thoughts reflecting on everything you’ve been

Taught

Never felt this way before

Seems that somebody’s just opened the door

To the book of life … or is it death!

There’s ever anyway 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

I want to leave 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

Do you really wanna be Just another one statistic or feel

That you really should aspire

That you really do deserve more

Do you ever really fell

That you have so much potential inside

What you really have to give

Could be realized so much more

Time will flow

And i will follow

Time will go But i will follow

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 leave 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
