Lyrics
Don't know what to say
But there's so many things I wanna do
Do something great
So they remember me when this life's through
But what's the point?
They'll only turn and walk away from me
The only thing they've ever done for me
Is map my destiny
Something's not right
We're living ordinary lives
What could be the cause of this?
I'm sure good reasons don't exist
Society
Feeds lies of how we're supposed to be
If we'd only be ourselves
We'd learn to make a difference with our lives.
Measure of success in the end
Isn't popularity
In fact the first will be the last
(The last) will be first anyway
The only mark that we can leave
Begins with just a change of heart
Faith can move mountains
We'll shake worlds if we all play our parts
Let us not be silent
Let us not cause rocks to scream
I'll be the first to cry out
To show the world just what it means
And when we cry out "Saviour!"
Just what's holding us back?
We'll sink the ships we're sailing
Due to the wisdom we lack
But if the last thing I say
Reflects the choices I've made
Then I'll be with you some day
Not turning back to my grave
