Be
Should I go for it?
I could if I wanted to.
I would if things would stay the same,
But I know that they'll change.
My feet carry me down to the lake
Where we used to play
I think about things in perspective
As I look down at my reflection...
Is this who I am?
Do I wanna be anybody else?
Cause I hold the key.
Should I feel this empty?
From this point on everything I need
Won't just be handed right to me.
I wish I could see
Who I need to be.
I hole your hand as tight as I can.
Don't want to let go, can't you understand?
I'm only six, don't leave me here to stay.
First grade will just have to wait...but then you say:
Don't be afraid, this is who you are.
Please don't cry, you've gotten this far.
I know it'll be hard.
But this is life, things have to change
Even if you want them to stay the same.
But please, for me
Be who you need to be.
So with a courage deep inside.
I walk through the door, leaving you behind.
Why can't I make you that proud once again
By taking this chance?
Is this who I am?
Do I wanna be anybody else?
Cause I hold the key.
Should I feel this empty?
From this point on everything I need
Won't just be handed right to me.
I think now I see
Who I need to be.
