Student of me

I don’t know the road, and I know not how long
I have left on this earth until I will be gone

But I want to see
And understand deeply
To truly be free
I need to become
A student of me

To watch my mind like the knowledge I learned
To watch my actions until I have earned

My second diploma, it will set me free

The one which says I was a student of me

The one which says that I now understand
Why I walk this earth, why I roam the land

No one else can do it, so I will be
The learner, the learned, and the thing in between
The knowledge, the power, the sweetest hymn

For I want to see
What happens when I chose to become
Before my time’s over and I am gone

What I can be
If I become

A student of me
