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
