[Intro]
  


[Verse 1]

All my life, I

've waited
      
For a place to

 feel like hom

e
        
With an open a

rm

Away from harm
    
And never alon

e


[Verse 2]
        
Well, I found 

a place I matt

er
      
But the future

's so unclear
         
Like I'm in a 

maze
          
There's a mill

ion ways
   
It all could d

isappear


[Verse 3]

How do you go 

from sleeping
     
In a room unde

r a stair?
       
To the one eve

ryone

Hangs their ho

pes on
     
It's more than

 I can bear


[Pre-Chorus 1]
          
When you're st

              
anding on the 


edge
            
Looking out in

       
to the sky
       
Do you jump if

 you're not su

re
             
That you can f


ly?


[Chorus 1]
      
Can I be the o

ne?
        
Could I change

 what's done?
         
Should I turn 

away

Refuse to stay
   
Or give all I 

can give?
       
Will I ever be
          
What they see 

in me?
     
If I learn to 

trust
   
Or am I just
     
The boy
      
who lived?


[Interlude]



[Verse 4]
       
Do you choose 

what's right o

r easy?
         
Pick the path 

that you can s

ee?
      
No, I have to 

try
         
Look him in th

e eye
            
'Cause it's mo

re than only m

e


[Verse 5]
         
It's the choic

es that define

 us
             
It shows the p


erson that you

 are
        
So I'll stand 

my ground
        
Feel my heartb

eat pound
           
'Cause I'm mor

e than just th

is scar


[Verse 6]
     
As a wise man 

always told me

,
        
"In the dark, 

you'll find th

e light.”
        
So I'll make m

y way and say,
            
"I won't go do

wn without a f

ight!"


[Pre-Chorus 2]
          
When you're st

              
anding on the 


edge
            
Looking out in

       
to the sky
    
You jump and h

ope
              
You grow your 

         
wings to fly


[Chorus 2]
      
I can be the o

ne
      
I can touch th

e sun
        
So I'll find a

 way
     
To a brighter 

day
    
And give all I

 can give
      
I can try to b

e
          
What they see 

in me
     
If I learn to 

trust
    
I'm more than 

just
     
The boy
    
who lived


[Bridge]
            
When your back

              
's against the

 
 wall
              
And you stumbl

          
e and you fall
       
Do you follow 

through or
            
Do you disappe

            
ar into the cr

owd?
              
When it all co

            
mes down to yo

u
              
You know what 

            
you have to do
            
This can't all

        
 be for nothin

g
     
I'll try to ma

ke you proud
            
I'll make you 


proud


[Chorus 3]
       
I will be the 

one
        
Do what must b

e done
         
Standing side 

by side
         
Push the dark 

aside
             
'Til there's n

owhere left to

 hide
      
I can try to b

e
          
What they see 

in me
     
If I learn to 

trust
    
I'm more than 

just
      
The boy
   
who lived
