THE SOUNDS OF NIRIH

"WHY CAN'T I BE"
(from The Mawuvia Suite
arranged and recorded by Niteowl)

STIRIH

Why Can't I Be Exactly what I want to be?
Where are the rules?  Where are the laws?

This I know, there's more to life
Than what they expect of me.

I've lived my life the way they've said,
The way it ought to be.

But here am I, my soul on fire
To seek my Destiny.

 

YANAH

Why must I be only what they want me to be?
I can't remember, I can't remember
A time when I was free to be myself.
Oh, give me strength to live my life
The way I want to live my life.
I've lived my life the way they've said
The way it ought to be.
But here am I, my soul on fire.
Will I ever see?
I know they say I was born to be
Exactly what I am.
But I can see a place for me
Beyond the Door.
