Speak Up, Defy

We wonder why
Its tough to try
But words are useless
When theyre held inside
Speak up, defy
Or just scrape by
Become the tiger
That changes
The colors of his stripes
I cant deny
Its tough to try
So speak up, defy

Im destined to impress
Im hiding below the radar
My sights are set
Well see this eye to eye
Something stirs
And Ive waited my turn
I cant fault trial
When errors all I found

Ive settled before
I know it shows
Ive let the trains
Come pass me by

I've asked myself
This once before
And I cant sit
In the back seat no more
And I've made up my mind
Should I try?
Yes Ill try
Id shoot the stars
In hopes for a chance to shine
In a sky
That we all try to own

Did your strategy
Bend this time?
Rest your feet
You must be tired
Running circles
In that state of mind
How long did you
Push that stone
For it to roll back down?
Dont fault trial when
Errors all you found

Ive settled before
I know it shows
Ive let the trains
Come pass me by
Ive settled before
So far below
The undertow
Ill surface
With dreams
In full supply
