lyrics

Mother we can't tell what's panned out
Just know that some sort of plan will work it's self out
I wish I could go back and fix it all
But that means I'd have to change
Everything I love in exchange

Father I want to follow my dreams
But there's something I can't get out of my seams
Something I that both of you know
Something I refuse to understand
But like quicksand
I will fall to their demands

And there ain't no use in losing our hearing
Over our voices
Over our noises
Over our choices

At the end of the day it don't matter
What's worn us out just that we are all tired

Hey I knew someone who lived by the sea
There the politics go and flee
I gave them my hand and walked away
Chasing my dreams so very very far away

No I won't stop staring into darkness
No I will tear these barriers down
I can't wait to see the ocean
I can’t wait to fly home free
