Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
that Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
and she ran inside weeping.
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
of the new Messiah.
She picked up a book of her fathers life
and threw it on the fire!
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
The theme of the sermon was come unto me,
Love will find a way,
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,
and sneak out anyway!
She spent all afternoon getting ready,
and decided she'd try to touch him,
Maybe he'd see that she was free
and talk to her this Sunday.
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
She arrived at six and the place was swinging
to gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stage
and Sally just sat there crying.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
right in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
ran on and said 'here we go!'
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage!
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage!
But soon the atmosphere was cooler
as Tommy gave a lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
and leapt up on the rostrum!
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
and touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man,
threw her of the stage.
She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,
mingling with her tears,
Tommy carried on preaching
and his voice filled Sally's e(M&L - Hansen)
Much too long I've been a prisoner here
The hour has come to break out
Shackled and chained almost go insane
It's better to live in the run
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearenge the master plan, take the future in my hand
To be free and not trapped anymore
Ride the sky
Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly
Ride the sky
I have to think for myself and then act
In conformity of my own thougths
No one should tell what's wrong and what's right
Why don't you leave me alone
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearenge the master plan, take the future in my hand
To be free and not trapped anymore
Ride the sky
Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly
Ride the sky
