Looking out the window
At a world behind the glass
Watching it pass by
Held back by stories from the past
A tape stuck on rewind
Hurtful word ride a merry-go-round
Filling your head and working to wear you down
Fit the mold that others gave you
Keep your coloring in the lines
Morph yourself
Contort yourself
To fit their paradigm
That doesn't have to be your story
You can give that baggage away
Untie tomorrow from your yesterday
Choose to feed the fire
Choose to fan the flame
Choose to stop playing everybody else's game
Choose to slay the dragon
Choose to find another way
Choose your own design
Choose to shine
