The Real Me

 

Make it up every step of the way

It’s not a movie or a book or a screenplay

Always trying just to keep my cool

Instead of taking it in like a first-time fool 

Put my hand on the wheel and drive

We’ve only one chance to get it right

So I’ve been looking for the real me

Just as soon as I find it, I’ll set it free 

Tried to dance on the highest wire

Lost my vision walking straight through the fire

It’s a wound that in time will heal

And no one said you have to see to feel 

Everyone in disrepair

Every shadow that takes us there

Fades away when the fire dies

Now I’m standing up for the very first time
