[Intro]
(It occurs to me that I might not go)
(If you don't want to say goodbye just say I love you)

[Verse 1]
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one, you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards

[Chorus 1]
Your mind is open for me
(Open for intake of all propaganda)
Your eyes see now what to see
(My eyes see only the programs you give me)

[Verse 2]
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same
You'll see all the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know
What lies behind my screams
[Chorus 2]
I can't tell you all I know
(Am I the son that you've always been wanting?)
There's more to me than what shows
(Are you my father; the one that was promised?)

[Bridge]
Hush now
(I'm not your slave)
I'll give all you need to know
(Please don't keep me from dreaming)
And pre-live your dreams for you
(I'm not your slave, you can't keep me from learning)
You're a good boy
(Can't you tell?)

[Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo]
[Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton]

[Chorus 3]
Freedom
(I'm not your slave)
Belongs to only those
(Someone please hear me; you can't keep me from dreaming)
Without video screens
(I'm not your slave, you can't keep me from learning)
For eyes and mouth
[Outro]
You have no mouth to speak with my son, besides
No-one can hear when you're screaming in digital
