Alive In The Lights

From the beginning I knew I was different

I embraced it but you didn't

Your normal life 9-5 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 & 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

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 will 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

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

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
