Care to bend your ear
Around this message ?
The truth is
Nothing really matters but showin' up
Being the best will never even be enough
Climb that mountain
Be that guy
They'll all say you didn't deserve this
I've worked my ass off
Gotten this far
I've changed for the better
I've become someone good
But I get told I didn't do what I could
I don't fit your formula
I didn't act your way
But I made you take off your rosy shades
Look around you.
This is different because we were here
Now take second
Bend your ear
And Listen.
You are stronger
You are better
We are the promise.
