sitting for the next to come by
can't wait
no
not waiting to go by
the passing by of great joy
this life just to throw away
an old toy
i'll change for you
for them
for me
i'll change for the better of it all
you won't stand in front no more
whatever it takes, don't care
i'll get through, i'll fight
whatever it takes
i'm going there
i'm not holding down
i won't sit
whatever it takes
i'm moving on
it's taking awhile getting there
i'll finish, i'll prove it for me not you
i hope it's a great joy after sorrow
it's all changing, it's whatever i take on
old flaws into something new
i'm not sitting, it's to be free from you
and be me
