Where I Want to Be - Chess In Concert

Who needs a dream?

Who needs ambition?

Who’d be the fool

In my position?

Once I had dreams

Now they’re obsessions

Hopes became needs

Lovers possessions

Then they move in Oh so discreetly

Slowly at first

Smiling too sweetly

I opened doors

They walked right through them

Called me their friend

I hardly knew them

Now I’m where I want to be and who I want to be and

doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I haven’t won at all

Running for my life and never looking back in case

there’s someone

right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew

I’d fall.

When the crazy wheel slows down

Where will I be?

Back where I started.

Don’t get me wrong

I’m not complaining

Times have been good

Fast, entertaining

But what’s the point

If I’m concealing

Not only love

All other feeling.

Now I’m where I want to be and who I want to be and

doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I haven’t won at all

Running for my life and never looking back in case

there’s someone

right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew

I’d fall

When the crazy wheel slows down

Where will I be?

Back where I started.
