All I want is to scream and sing
But I've been knocked outside the ring
When you fall, you get back up
Boxing life with uppercuts
All I want is the power to fight
And turn my careless wrongs into rights
Miranda could have been my name
If the right to life my life ever came
All I want is to dive right in
My pool is empty, though I can swim
But how many chances should I take
When I'm my own careless mistake
When will I get to be all the things that were promised to me?
How will I come to see the end of all my misery?
I shake in anger, I cry with rage
Forcing my eyes to stay on a page
Gotta stay focused, can't get distracted
Can't stop my thoughts from being redacted!
All I want is to be able to read
Between the lines of a silver screen
My brain is like the boys in blue
Sad and aggressive without a clue
All I want is to be able to write
Something besides jokes out of spite
My hands are restless, my mind is sick
The grandfather counts the endless ticks
All I want is to act my age
Instead of a ticking timebomb of rage
I look up and see your smile
Cause when you look down, you see a child
When will I get to be all the things that were promised to me?
How will I come to see the end of all my misery?
I shake in anger, I cry with rage
Forcing my eyes to stay on a page
Gotta stay focused, can't get distracted
Can't stop my thoughts from being redacted!
I shake in anger, I cry with rage
Forcing my eyes to stay on a page
Gotta stay focused, can't get distracted
Can't stop my thoughts from being redacted!
