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?
[Chorus]
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
