You said you wanted to go but you stayed anyways Then you said you wanted to go and you did We fought it out We stuck it out We played it out staring straight ahead Asking, Are we gonna be alright? We paid a price, things always change But not like they did that day I remember crying and crying and crying Faced with fear, I'm doing time I walk with my head high I'm not giving up on you baby Are we gonna be alright? I am young and I am free A new kind of free for me I'm not who I was before Bu...
Mother earth spill yourself for us Teach us something - anything I want to know the reason And I want to know the time Something worth believing And make it change my mind I want something to be powerful Something to take me off this trip I'm on come and sweep me off of my feet I'm in love my love and I'm out of line Put me in my place Does the lightening call your heart as it does mine?

I like to sit and watch tv. people that move and inspire me I know no one who's over come anything. but i'm wrong - very wrong... Why do we hide our stories? Why do we hide success?
