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
