"Yeah I was afraid
I was afraid I'd become just like them
Now just the fear of growing up and becoming that
It almost killed me
'Cause I had some plans when I was a kid
I made some promises to myself
Promises I began to feel I couldn't deliver on as I grew older
But you know what?
looking back
I love that hopeful kid
Enough to prove to him
That nothing can take away that hope
nothing can take away his vision
And just because my world is dead
I came to fight to that noble end
Gonna keep my eyes wide,
walk outside
stay myself inside"
