Eighteen years of learning
And still I feel I know nothing
If anything I learned how to fit in
But I've started this journey
Searching for the truth
I could take the next step
The way I took my first
And life would be easy
Best I can explain
It’s like a bird in the nest
Who’s too afraid to fly
It isn’t easy, but we grow from the pain
It isn’t hard to see the risk in making a change
It isn’t common giving up what you held onto so tightly
But I'm letting go, to refine my soul
Twenty-three years pretending
To be someone else
The man I thought I should be
I guess I finally realized
I didn’t know myself
I started to wonder
Was it all just a dream?
Was I ever really honest?
It's like my eyes are opened
And I see so clear
I guess I never would have known
It isn’t easy, but we grow from the pain
It isn’t hard to see the risk in making a change
It isn’t common giving up what you held onto so tightly
But I'm letting go, to refine my soul
