we were chained to our own doubt for a moment in time screaming out loud for what we knew that we could be then how long will you suffer believing that life is unfair in spite of what you know that you could be here i keep thinking how long should i hold back stand down repeat the words that i hoped you would say at least i tried you know you lived in doubt we live safe in our own comfort sheltered and blind desensitized now if only we would risk it take our reward think beyond the moment to the edge where our delusion ends right now at least i tried to know beyond the doubt you are pointing at the lonely face tired saying what you can to hold your place calm down slow down before you cross the line you are more than what your vision states in my world safe alone as you wait in your cage defiant the only person you have left to blame is hiding but you see now stop thinking how long don t hold back stand now say the words i know you can change defeat the lie become the sound
