you can't tie me down
looking up from somewhere down,
looking up from where i am,
somewhere, nowhere, i can't tell,
everyone trying to get me down,
looking up from the gutter,
everyone sees me as a doormat with the words go ahead and step on me,
everyone is doing it, upon me,
i can never win,
so here i am,
on this bridge,
no one is going to stop me,
i know that for a fact,
here i go,
watch me fly,
you can't drag me down,
i am my own person,
this bridge is not the answer,
i can fly in my own way,
my day is not today,
but you still can't,
tie me down,
i am not a door mat,
i am a person,
i am not a rock,
and i do not plan to sink like one,
today is not my,
day to fly,
to jump,
to fall,
to leave this world behind,
you can't tie me down,
watch me fly.
