Alive In The Lights

From the beginning I knew I was different

I embraced it, but you didn't

Your normal life, nine to five

It's just not for me

I need to feel alive!

I won't fall like the rest of them

They've come and gone with the wind

I hear the doubt in the back of your mind

But still I'll see this through to the end

Maybe if you paid more attention

Asked more questions and actually listened

You would see this is not just a dream

But a path I've chosen

That means everything to me

Don't you see the minds that have changed?

Don't you see the lives that have been saved?

Don't you care to see the difference I've made?

Listen closely

The highways call my name

Don't you see this is my everything?

(My everything)

It may not seem right to you

And you might not approve but it's real

This is the only thing that makes me feel

What more do I have to do

To finally prove myself to you?

What is it that you need to see

To finally believe

This is who I'm supposed to be?

Most days I feel like your punching bag

But I would never let it hold me back

I just wish for once

You knew how it felt

To be brought down lower than everything else

Don't you care to see the difference I've made?

Listen closely

The highways call my name

Don't you see this is my everything?

(My everything)

It may not seem right to you

And you might not approve but it's real

This is the only thing that makes me feel

This is who I am!

This is my life

I come alive in the lights

I come alive in the lights

What will be written on your tombstone?

You sat behind a desk

You had no backbone

What will be written on your tombstone?

You sold your soul, grew old alone

Would you prefer that I become a lifeless

Hollow shell such as yourself?

Would you prefer that I give up my dreams

And lose all hope just like everyone else?

Don't you see the lives that have been saved?

Listen closely

The highways call my name

Don't you see this is my everything?

(My everything)

It may not seem right to you

And you might not approve but it's real

This is the only thing that makes me feel
