|
You set bar too high |
|
Your expectations have become my failure |
|
A shell you see so shallow but deep inside |
|
My heart beats just the same as yours |
|
The same blood through these clean veins |
|
Can't you see that |
|
I'm in pain, it seems |
|
My life is always under par, what can |
|
I sayTo change your mind about what |
|
I amOthers can see what was hidden from your sight |
|
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide |
|
An inner beauty and a bright light |
|
My focus is not yours |
|
I set my sights on new horizons |
|
And let my soul have scope |
|
Can't you see that |
|
I have my own dreams |
|
And though they're not the same as yours |
|
They hold value to me, tell me |
|
Why can't you see |
|
I'm not the means |
|
To mend your past regrets |
|
What can I say to change your mind about what |
|
I amOthers can see what was hidden from your sight |
|
A kid with courage and heart and his eyes open wide |
|
Inner beauty and a bright light, judged for how |
|
I lookNot for the good that |
|
I have done |
|
I try the best |
|
I can but it seems |
|
That I'm not the perfect son |
|
Shaped by |
|
God and my volition |
|
And the seeds that you have sown |
|
But I ask you once again |
|
When does my life become my own? |
