Give me something I can be
I’ve been searching I’ve been reaching
but there’s much that I can’t see
People try and talk you down
but they’ll never know the joy you feel
when your feet leave the ground
You’re so much better then this
You oughta know better,
but you never set your target that might higher then the weather
You oughta rise higher,
but you never made the jump from a talker to a tryer
Do what you’re told and just believe
That that people right above you have a better sense of things
I could never fit them all
Gonna shake up all the music and let it fill my soul
There’s so much more then the life you’re living
I tried to help but you just wouldn’t give in
You oughta know better,
but you never set your target that might higher then the weather
You oughta rise higher,
but you never made the jump from a talker to a trier
