I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your armsAnd what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway, you don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to beAnd what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me awayAnd how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me 'cause I'm not hereAnd I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belongAnd how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me 'cause I'm not hereAnd you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraidAnd I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me as long as I know who I amAnd I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belongAnd how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me but I'm still hereThey can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'While I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I'll never believeAnd I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belongAnd how can they say I never change?
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now 'cause I'm still hereI'm the one 'cause I'm still here
I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
