Fade out
Give me my space
Let me choose my route
I still can't figure what the fighting is for
We are all that's left of our family
Why are we at war?
Take five
Maybe call back in ten
Because I'm not sure that
I can do this again!
I don't care if I lose you, if
That's what sets me free,
But take time to realize that I'm
Going to be me.
This is mine.
My journey, my life
My one chance to do it right.
But when I am not given freedom to
Think for me,
How do you expect results that
Would properly please thee?
C'mon now people,
It's time to live for me, and
Those three children
Who came out of me.
Quit trying to take what's rightfully mine,
My dignity, my freedom, my responsibility.
I've been silenced, forsaken.
Robbed of all but insecurity.
Thank you, world
For the hand I've been given
Violated by man, can't wait
To leave this world, to begin
Eternal living.
