you have the power
more than you want
yet you are grieving
believing you are powerless

you have the freedom
more than you need
for you do not use it
afraid of true happiness

lost in the lonely pool
just another frightened fool
trying to stand out and yet
you are best at hiding

laughing at all your tears
crying for wasted years
you forget, you regret
you're living and dying

and it only means what you want it to mean
all value and worth are for you to decide
I give you this gift as it was given to me
knowledge and awareness are waiting inside

you

take these words with you and make them sing in your mind
turn them into a song that you can share with the world
make a million dollars so you can give it away
and maybe you will understand what it means

you have the power
more than you want
yet you are leaving
believing you are weak and frail

you have the freedom
more than you need
for you do not use it
afraid that you might fail

lost in insecurity
just one more afraid to see
trying to be good and yet
you are best at crying

laughing at all your jokes
craving for more drinks and smokes
you forget, you regret
you're living and dying

and it only means what you want it to mean
all value and worth are for you to decide
I give you this gift as it was given to me
knowledge and awareness are waiting inside

you

take these words with you and make them sing in your mind
turn them into a song that you can share with the world
make a million dollars so you can give it away
and maybe you will understand what it means

you can cross your chest with corrupt hope
that the catatonic kaleidescope
doesn't suck you in and blow your mind
until you don't know you are blind

or you can accept the unknown
and do what feels good
overcome the fear
and empower the love

truth is what you find
when you realize
fear creates the unkind
before your eyes

hope lives or dies
love lives or dies
fear lives or dies
truth lives or dies

in your mind

and it only means what you want it to mean
all value and worth are for you to decide
I give you this gift as it was given to me
knowledge and awareness are waiting inside

you

take these words with you and make them sing in your mind
turn them into a song that you can share with the world
make a million dollars so you can give it away
and maybe you will understand what it means

steal this song
there's nothing wrong
you can be strong
it's been here all along

bang your gong
this is where you belong
choose to be strong
it's been yours all along
steal this song
steal this song
sing this song
