Starting Out

distorted sound like a telephone) I lost myself deep in the waters…..

I don’t know where I’m going

But I’m sure I’ll turn out fine

Don’t you dare give up on me because….

Belief is not a crime!

 

I’M JUST STARTING OUT!

I’M ONLY BEGINNING TO FIND MYSELF!

OH, I’M JUST STARTING OUT! (soft clean vocals-”don’t give up on me”)

DO! YOU! HEAR! ME!

 

I’ve traveled so far

Now look where it’s got me

I’ve got a music career…

Strapped to my shoulders

I can hear your whispers

But I don’t believe them

You can tell me I’m wrong

You can say its not right

But who's got the music that wants to fight?!

 

SAY WHAT YOU WANT!

DO AS YOU LIKE!

BUT I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!

THIS IS MY LIFE!

THIS IS MY DREAM!

AND WITH ALL THAT LOVE I THOUGHT YOU’D SUPPORT ME!

 

My wings aren’t broken

I’ll fly high

Just as my dreams will without you tonight

I don’t need your lies

I don’t need you telling me I’m making a mistake

 

I’M JUST STARTING OUT!

I’M ONLY BEGINNING TO FIND MYSELF!

OH, I’M JUST STARTING OUT! (soft clean vocals-”don’t give up on me”)

DO! YOU! HEAR! ME!

 

My words are the truth

I just wish that you’d believe me

And when I grow in life…

I know what you’ll be doing

 

BEGGING ON YOUR LIFE FOR FORGIVENESS ‘CAUSE YOU NEED ME!

WELL YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BULLSHIT…

AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!

DON’T YOU LIE TO ME!

I WILL STAND TALL!

 

(distorted sound like a telephone) I once lost myself deep in the waters…..

I didn't know where I was going

But I turned out fine

You gave up on me.

Belief won’t do the time
