growing strong the voice of my father said "don't give it up don't be forgotten" this hell on earth i just want to run away they told dreams don't grow from here stay alone count your fears somewhere down the line i might figure it out singin' all my songs to bedroom mirrors deep inside my heart i am still here we're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it the world's in our hands yeah they don't need to understand we do it our own way no matter what they try to say about it we've got our own plans yeah they don't need to understand they don't need to understand what made me tough almost k**ed me at least that's how i remember the story over the years i've forgotten how it was but i survived and i won't walk down the same old road that they all followed it only leads to a life not meant for me singin' all my songs to bedroom mirrors
deep inside my heart i am still here we're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it the world's in our hands yeah they don't need to understand we do it our own way no matter what they try to say about it we've got our own plans yeah they don't need to understand streets of my hometown seem strange now they feel like a distant memory i'm always fighting 'cause i know you're trying but you can never take this dream from me we're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it the worlds in our hands yeah they don't need to understand we do it our own way no matter what they try to say about it we've got our own plans yeah they don't need to understand they don't need to understand they don't need to understand
