This winding road we still don't know what is lying ahead
Dash forward to your chosen path
and don't hold back

I know you don't want to fake another smile
You'd never care enough to fake another trail of tears
and try to survive without changing who you are
Too bad the world is not on your side

Tried so hard but you couldn't find anything
that you like about yourself
Living in your own shell was your only option to
keep from crying out for help

You run through crowds of people, bathe in every sunrise
You cry after the countless failures on every sleepless night
These scars,
they are the badges from
what you've overcome

Don't give up now
No matter how far they try to wear you down
No matter how hard they try to hammer you down
I know it's hard but no need to sigh or cry
Hold tight to your crown
Even if your ladders and bridges will fall
Just keep on climbing over that high stone wall
And now, I see you here standing tall

You see
The once invisible flowers bloom before your eyes
The once inaudible sounds are blasting in the sky
Color of the dusty boots has faded to white
It's up to you now to decide
It's up to you now to decide

The white lie somebody told
Cut your heart open and now your blood is running cold
Nobody really cares if the rumor goes
comepletely out of control

It's so tragic that all of the taller
poppies will always be cut down
and so crazy that nobody seems to know
what goes around comes back around

All of the heartless comments are deafening your ears
I know the never-ending rat race just isn't worth your tears
Just stay
true to your honest self
And that will be enough

Don't give up now
No matter how far down they try to drag you
No matter how loudly they're laughing at you
I know it's tough but no need to take their words
You will make it through
Even if the answer for tomorrow's unknown
Take my hand, we will fight to the next milestone
I will never leave you alone

If your mind was clouded by the dirty stains,
all the blazing colors painted were in vain
You gotta go find a better place to make it your canvas,
start over again
No need to blend in and no need to change
Stick to your true colors, no matter what the others
have to say

This winding road we still don't know what is lying ahead
To the future that you want to grasp
Reach out your hand

No matter how hard they try to cross you out
No matter how badly they want you to give up
I'll reach out to wherever you are and
hold you tight in my arms
Just go at your own pace and don't lose your grit
Take one step at a time, keep marching in orbit
I know one day you will succeed

You see
Now you've got all the old letters from yesterday
The sun rises again to light up your doorway
The key you once lost was lying right inside the maze
So, what do you say？

You see
Once invisible flowers bloom before your eyes
Once inaudible sounds are blasting in the sky
Color of the dusty boots has faded to white
It's up to you now to decide
It's up to us now, you and I
