When does a boy become a man?
What qualifies his soul as being worthy?
His hands, his feet, his smile determine his view
but his mind, his thoughts, his actions define his worth
and everything that he really is.
I hope with all my heart that I'm someone to be proud of.
I don't strive for perfection, just a loving heart
and I don't strive for material worth, only what I am worth.
When you're told you've changed
then you've lost it all completely.
Are you deemed insane...
cuz you swear your hearts still the same?
My time has come to rise above your words,
your painful words and fall in love again
with who I am. I'm simply me.
This is my war; this is my hope in all I am.
This is my battle; my witness to my heart.
I'll tear it out and give this all I've got,
you and me, I believe we can be free
but how could you be so blind when all is said and done,
I am seeing clearly now, so very clearly.
The fights just break the ties but, day by day I will not stray
from the dreams I have in my mind, the love in my heart
and though I try, you make it hard to love you.
Don't be afraid to fly, words are only words.
You don't want to go, wondering what could have been.
I am stronger now than ever before,
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
To live your life is to dream,
to really live your life is to be who you are.
Did I stutter when I said
these second thoughts are killing my head?
and I would like to say...
am I making a mistake telling you the truth?
My heart can't take the beating,
is there something I'm not reading?
Where do we go from here?
Resistance is useless and I can't stray away.
This burden is too much for me...
to bury my ashes here and now.
I will fight until the very end.
My world, my love why do you torment me
to give up and give in to all you are?
I like the man I am, but I despise the fool I've been.
Can you please help me out?
I'm ready for a change, I won't back down.
You've weighed your options and it's time to act
and I will never let this go.
Open your eyes to a world that's real
and shed some light into this darkened world
because if you don't I may be lost,
lost forever in my darkened thoughts.
Only you have the power to set me free
and shine brilliant rays into my mind
because you brighten up my whole world.
It's your choice now, your decision.
I'm done with using words to express myself..
when all they really are is useless.
