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
