A Million Voices

Sometimes I feel like I am Just another drop in the water Like I can't separate myself from The faces of a million others With every step I'm treading In the footprints of those who came before me And now inside I'm dreading That every word I write is just a copy So the darkness creeps inside Then it spreads into my mind Oh the darkness creeps inside Then it spreads into my mind Set me apart from a million other voices Choose me above all that you see Please don't hold me responsible for my choices They don't belong to me Oh don't belong to me I can feel my chest tighten When I hear my melodies in someone's writing And I don't know why I'm frightened Of someone else out there like me succeeding The funny thing I've learned from fear is: When you let it in and face it, it gets smaller So I sit with it and hear it, Peaceful in the chaos and disorder I let the darkness creep inside, Let it spread into my mind I let the darkness creep inside, Let it spread into my mind It says "Set me apart from a million other voices Choose me above all that you see Please don't hold me responsible for my choices They don't belong to me Oh don't belong to me" And I have feared, next to yours, That my light wont be seen shining And there's just not room for two But as they cheered, the applause Began gently to remind me That I'm stronger thanks to you It sets me apart from a million other voices But makes me at one with all I see Cos I am solely responsible for my choices And only me Oh and only me Oh and only me
