A Day At The Fair (music and lyrics by Tamra Hayden)
I didn’t know what I was searching for. I didn’t know the rules. Felt just like a circus freak at home with all these fools.
My body limp. My brain is weak.
Didn’t know the game was on to win a prize. The treasure not buried, just in disguise. Thank you sir, I’ll use your cap,
fill it to the brim. Head into the wind…
I ran and I ran with no course in mind I ran. My hair, a thousand horses storming down a hill.
Nothing’s gonna hold me back. With a sheer force of will I ran and I ran. A blinding run into the sun.
A Day At The Fair, I wish you could be there to see me surrounded by these clowns on every side.
I look in the mirror. Is this who I am? It’s distorted and it’s weird. I can hardly see myself.
I didn’t know who I was or who I’d be. Am I part of this freak show? Is this me? A thousand voices telling me just how to be.
I’m more than what you see!
I ran and I ran. Getting nowhere I ran. Freedom comes in many forms, like wings upon my feet.
I just wanted to get out of there cause parting is such sweet sorrow!
A Day At The Fair, I wish you could be there to see me surrounded by these clowns on every side.
I look in the mirror. Is this who I am? It’s distorted and it’s weird. This is how I see myself.
I don’t know what I’m searching for. I don’t know all the rules. But, I’m learning how to break them all now, one by one.
And I’m heading for the door cause I can’t take this anymore.
My thoughts burst into countless stars! Break these chains, remove these bars!
The fun house has an empty room cause I just ran out the door!
