It was something inside of me that had to be said
Like a songbird burning in the back of my head
Like a needle pulling on an unseen thread
All my life
Well I could see it coming but I just couldn't say
What tomorrow brought cause I was stuck in today
It was a light so bright
It was shining my way to you
It was always there, it was written that way
It was always there, it was written that way
It was always there, just something that I had to do
Oh
You don't have to take what they gave you
Turn it into something you love
You don't have to hide the truth that makes you different,
You hid it enough (you've been hiding
How did you know that times won't break you?
Well you get about twenty thousand days in
And then you start thinking how it's gonna end
With a little good luck, you might get another ten
If you don't start livin you're dying inside
So wipe those fears right out of your eyes
I'm not talkin bout Christ
But you can be born again
It was always there, it was written that way
It was always there, it was written that way
It was always there, just something that I had to do"
