[Verse] Well, it’s a lonely road taking sides with an abstraction To be loyal to principles and holding reason as your compass And you’ll find your words bouncing off the walls obstructing progress It may feel futile but a restlessness prohibits your inaction [Verse] A man of mind plowing through the mires of apathy and silence Through a sea of souls, somnambulant and Willing their heads into the sand They polarize at the sight of any sign of any kind of opposition Grip their habit tight and kick and scream in separation [Pre-Chorus] So, the only route The way, it seems Is to be the change we wish to see To beat a path and prove it can be followed [Chorus] Singing, “I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world” Singing, “I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world” [Verse] You transcend yourself when devoted to an ideal You become much more than flesh and bones and impermanence, yeah Just keep treading on Steadfast, confident, relentless Pushing what moves the earth well past the goal, and then keep on going [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause each one of us holds the torque and key It’s just a matter of firing it up and being True to heart and mind in the frontiers of questioning [Chorus] Singing, “I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world” Singing, “I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world” {Break] Sing it! [Bridge] I wanna relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas I wanna relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas I wanna relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas I wanna relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas [Chorus] Singing, I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world Sing it! I wanna be I’m gonna be the engine of the world I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world (I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world) I wanna be I wanna be the engine of the world) [Outro] Keep that engine rollin' Train kept a’rollin’ Keep that engine Heart and mind Keep that engine rollin' Train kept a’rollin’ Keep that engine Heart and mind You’ve got to start with yourself, brother You’ve got to You’ve got to start with yourself, brother Said, I wanna relieve the shoulders of Atlas Relieve the shoulders of Atlas Prrrrup, dup dup dup Prrrrup, dubbadeedup Woo!
