The Difference

The Difference - Missy Higgins

Am I gonna die am I gonna live

Or am I gonna sit on the edge of it

Am I gonna fall am I gonna fight

Or am I watch from the outside

Sometimes I wake from the deepest sleep

Oh and I feel tomorrow in me

Like I don't wanna let the hand

Of yesterday hold me back

But everything I see everything I watch

Makes me wanna hold my ears till it stops

Makes me wanna run makes me wanna hide

Makes me wanna set this house alight

Oh but I remember my mother's voice

Telling me that every day's a choice

For where there's good there's a bad

But my child you always can

Be the difference

Be the difference

Be the difference

I know the world's gone mad it's true

She said

Be the difference

You can

Be the difference

'Cos I see a fighter locked in you

Be the difference

Be the difference

When hope is a hand you don't wanna trust

She said

Be the difference

You can

Be the difference

'Cos darling the future's watching us

So am I gonna open everything up

Am I gonna let fury fill my cup

Am I gonna be an anthem singing in the dark

Gonna light up like a burning heart

Am I gonna stand still as rock

While everything shakes and tumbles off

Am I gonna remember the truth

'Cos I wanna be nasty wanna be brave

Not let his fear make me afraid

I don't wanna pretend I'm too small to jump the wall

I'm just trying to remember her voice

Telling me that every day's a choice

For where there's good there's bad

But my child you always can

Be the difference

Be the difference

Be the difference

I know the world's gone mad it's true

She said

Be the difference

You can

Be the difference

'Cos I see a fighter locked in you

So you gotta fight it

You gotta resist

Every days a choice to light the dark

You gotta sing loud

You gotta shout out

Fear is not a choice

But you can choose to be the difference

Be the difference

I know the world's gone mad it's true

She said

Be the difference

You can

Be the difference

'Cos I see a fighter locked in you

Be the difference

Be the difference

When a hope is a hand you don't wanna trust

She said

Be the difference

You can

Be the difference

'Cos darling the future's watching
