Followed footsteps Walked too far All this time spent Picking at the scars
Falling forward Holding back Getting tired Staying where I'm at
I'll be a man And I won't cry I am alone And that's alright I don't need a crutch to stand I will learn to rise Above where I have been And all I've known I'll choose my path And I will go I won't let nothing hold me back Can see it clearly now I know it will be grand
I've claimed weakness Far too long My excuses Torn down, come undone
I'll take me under Draw me in The fighting freedom I feel it closing in
I'll be a man And I won't cry I am alone And that's alright I don't need a crutch to stand I will learn to rise Above where I have been And all I've known I'll choose my path And I will go I won't let nothing hold me back Can see it clearly now I know it will be grand
Why Couldn't I see What was best And what was wrong For Me
