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
