Something Better (song)-Hadley

I have so many rocks I can lean on, and

I have so many fields I can lay (in), and

I have so many woods I can walk through

Without losing my way

Yes I have so many rocks I can lean on, but

I, I have no cliffs to explore, and

Even though I'm surrounded

By trees, I'm stuck on the forest floor

So I'll run and I'll run

Through the wind snow and sun

No matter the weather

I want something better

I want something new,

Something I can explore...

I want something better...

I want something more

I wish I was content with the

Answers, given to me, but

I have so many questions

That I want answered desperately

No I won't settle for something that

Keeps me trapped inside, from the

Dark, I hear it calling me

Out into the light

So I'll run and I'll run

Through the wind snow and sun

No matter the weather

I want something better

I want something new

Something I can explore

I want something better

I want something more

(Take a risk, take a chance)

I want something more

(Let me dream, let me dance)

I want something more

(Don't look back...

Not even a glance...

I have something new,

Something I can explore

I have something better

I have something more

I'm all that I ever wanted to be...

But all I have left is me
