Em
I've just had a dream that I never will forget.
       D
And I wish I could erase.
        C				    D
I was standing on the street with a whole crowd
of people
    Em
And no one knew my name.
           D
And I was just another face
C                                    D
No one looked at me or touched me, spoke to
or acknowledged me.
Em			   B	
I had no identity or individuality
D                          A
No thoughts of my own, no mind or personality.
C				D
I was just a no one, a total nonentity

Em                D
I'm just a number waiting to be called.
      C            D          Em
It is time for confessing it all,
Em   D
I'm just another face,
      C            D             Em    D
Yes, it's time for confessing it all.

Em
Been a cheat, been a crook, never gave I always took
D
Crushed people to acquire anything that I desired.
C                          D
Been deceitful and a liar now I'm facing Hell Fire.

I can't believe that my time has come
For confessing all the evil and the wrong that
I've done.
The reckoning's come And now I'm just a no one.

I confess to the timid and the meek
To the cripples and the beggars And the tramps
in the street.
I confess my cruelty, my ego and conceit.

I've opened up my body and looked inside
And I'm everything that I once despised.
I confess for the thieves, The affected
and deranged,

I confess for the muggers and incurably insane.
I confess to the ugly for being vain,
I confess to those I hurt for causing them pain.

Em                 D
I'm just a number waiting to be called
          C           D         Em  D
And it's time for confessing it all,
Yes, it's time for confessing it all,
