I've been held up,
  I've been run down
  I can see quite clearly now
  through those past years,
  when I played towing the line.
  I only ask, that what I feel,
  should not be denied me now,
  As it's been earned, and
  I have seen my life belongs to me
  My love belongs to who can see it
  
  I've lived in fear,
  I've been out there,
  I've been 'round and
  seen my share
  of this sad world
  And all the hate,
  that it's stirred
  I only ask,
  that what I know,
  should not be denied me now
  As it's been learned,
  And I have seen my life belongs to me
  My love belongs to who can see it
  
  I only ask, that what I feel,
  should not be denied me now
  As it's been earned, and
  I have seen my life belongs to me
  
  My love belongs to who can see it.
  
  My love belongs to who . . .
