Anxious

I was just a young, young boy

Sitting in a railroad station

Wondering when my turn came

How I hated hesitation

I couldn't just stand around and be late

I couldn't just sit and miss my fate

I had to run and I had to fly

Just to make my dream match my eyes

They told me, "You are anxious

You are anxious

You're too old, anxious"

I was once like you

I've felt the heat, I've seen the flame

Still I haven't touched the fire

Voices echo still the same

"Boy, don't believe and don't you try

It's a dead end road that you're going down

Ain't never gonna leave this town"

That's why I had to run and I had to fly

Just to make my dream match my eyes

They told me, "You are anxious

You are anxious

You're too old, anxious"

I was once like you

And they told me that you're anxious

There's no more room for one like you

And they told me that I had to go

If only they could know

But they don't know where they go

They don't know where their dreams go now

Born in our hearts, born in our souls

How, where, when, and why did we let go now?

I'm anxious, I know, but I can't let it go

'Cause I've seen dreams come true

And this is the time for you

They say, "You are anxious

You are anxious

You're too old, anxious"

I was once like you

I was just a young, young boy
