lyrics
Can I get my day of rest
When I'm feeling so restless
Can I get my peace of mind
When they want a piece of me
Can I get my freedom
When I'm breaking all the rules
Can I get any wisdom
When I keep hanging out with fools
Can I get my hope back
When I feel all hope is gone
Can I get it back again
Can I get back home
Can I feel the sun shine
When I slept the day away
Can I get my ticket
When I ain't got no place to go
Can I reach for things
When my heart is so heavy
How can I rock the boat
When my own hand ain't steady
(Chorus)
