I Will Follow

Fear Factory · Transgression [2005]

[U2 Cover]

You said you needed me

I was looking at myself

I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man

His mother takes him by his hand

If he stops to think he starts to cry

Oh why

If you walkaway, walkaway

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

I will follow

I was on the inside

When they pulled the four walls down

I was looking through the window

I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, walkaway

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway,

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

I will follow

Your eyes make a circle

I see you when I go in there

Your eyes...your eyes...your eyes...your eyes

If you walkaway, walkaway

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

If you walkaway, walkaway

I walkaway, walkaway

I will follow

I will follow

I will follow

I will follow
