[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
