From the beginning I knew I was different. I embraced it, but you didn't. Your normal life, 9-5, it's just not for me. I need to feel alive!
|
|
I won't fall like the rest of them, they've come & gone with the wind. I hear the doubt in the back of your mind but still I'll see this through to the end.
|
|
Maybe if you paid more attention, asked more questions & actually listened you would see this is not just a dream, but a path I've chosen that means everything to me.
|
|
Don't you see the minds that have changed? Do you see the lives that have been saved? Don't you care to see the difference I've made?
|
|
Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.
|
|
What more do I have to do to finally prove myself to you? What is it that you need to see to finally believe this is who I'm supposed to be?
|
|
Most days I feel like your punching bag, but I will never let it hold me back. I just wish for once you knew how it felt to be brought down lower than everything else.
|
|
Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel. This is who I am! This is my life. I come alive in the lights! I come alive in the lights.
|
|
What will be written on your tombstone? You sat behind a desk. You had no backbone. What will be written on your tombstone? You sold your soul, grew old alone. Would you prefer that I become a lifeless, hollow shell such as yourself? Would you prefer that I give up my dreams & lose all hope just like everyone else?
|
|
Don't you see the lives that have been saved? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.
