not too long ago you were tearing at a world
that would never let you in
strung out, outcast turned away
you kept your face to the ground
and fought the world with your silence

and so the seasons change and the people change
and the good times come and the good times go
found yourself in a winless race fighting
for a cause you never believed

its easy to regret
not so easy to forget all the stupid things that used to hold you down
you gotta brake that chain and move on
'cause i know i've seen it in your eyes before

to surrender now to throw it all away
is to sacrifice but you can't repay
in a world that don't owe you shit
you gotta think for yourself and fight every bit of that piece of mind that keeps you going on
gets you outta bed
and out that door
step back take a look around
and soon you'll find there's something more

that'll come your way with a little patience
it will all work out for you in the end
this is my song to a friend that
never needed anyone until now
some times you get too close to see
a different side of what life could be
and if you stare too long it all becomes a blur
and its easy to forget just who we are
don't stare to hard, just take a look around...
