"The Outsider" lyrics - URIAH HEEP

URIAH HEEP
"The Outsider"

He wants to spread his wings and fly
But the world won't let him
He wants to show the people why
But they want to forget him

He's a lone dream rider
He is the outsider

He sees the shadows closing in
All is greeting fear
The world has gone up in a spin
Blind to what is clear

He's a lone dream rider
He is the outsider

He has really no direction
And he knows he's always right
When he captures his reflection
In the middle of the night

The outsider's in contagion
Swallowing only fears
While the world on vaccination
Is always left in tears

He's a lone dream rider
He is the outsider

When he gets away to find
A favourite band to trip
It always leads him back in time
To the world back then

He's a lone dream rider
He is the outsider

He has really no direction
And he knows he's always right
When he captures his reflection
In the middle of the night

He has really no direction
And he knows he's always right
When he captures his reflection
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night.
