Will you sit in silence holding your words
Or will you let them fly like birds from a cage
You could let your music escape to the sky
Letting go of all your fear and rage
If it's the same ol' situation
If it's the same ol' typical day
If it's the same ol' situation
Then it's up to you to change
Cuz I've seen you in the morning
Diamonds in your hair
You say you want to set the world on fire
You say you're gonna light your spark right here
Stuck under florescence punching keys
Til all the pretty colors fade to gray
You could build your own dreams if you let yourself
Of you could build the dreams of somebody else
If it's the same ol' situation
If it's the same ol' typical day
If it's the same ol' situation
Then it's up to you to change
