Tempest - Dance To My Tune

I'll give you my bread, sing for me
I'll cover your head, so next to my time
I have the right to make you mine
I've given the best years of my life to you

Gave you a tune, so keep it in mind
When you're older and you find
That you don't know what is wrong
It's up to you to change your soul

Beware the tiny smiling faces
Telling you things and taking you places
They pull your strings to make you obey
Otherwise what would the neighbours say?
Make my music fit your time
You write your own words, learn your own lines
My answer's not the only one
It's not the last song that you'll ever hear

To leave, you'll pass by open doors
I made mistakes and shared in yours
Did my best to show you a way
To make your song with something new to say

Beware the tiny smiling faces
Telling you things and taking you places
They pull your strings to make you obey
Otherwise what would the neighbours say?

My song is nearly over, I know the words well
The only gift I value but can you tell?
If you feel what I feel, will you sing me my song?
Turn the words around, sing me your own
