lyrics

I can't spend any more time waiting
I spent my whole life paying
for the things that I believed in

these rose colored glasses must come off
they have betrayed my heart
and I must face the world as it is

there is no one to do life for me
I must take responsibility
for the things that I desire

but when will I come to a place where
I trust my own opinions
and make my own damn decisions

There is a story I've been told
where trees are chopped down
they don't ever make a sound
or cry when they hit the ground
they give their lives for the glories of man

well I won't ever be chopped down
I'm learning how to find a place to rest my head
rest my heart
with limbs stretched out to the sky
the birds flocking by
will rest in my arms and they will not be harmed

oh what is so dangerous about me,
independent and free
and not in the arms of society?
