Sit down here beside me 'cause soon I'll be gone

Lend me your ears, then sit here all alone

I could've tried my wings, but chose to let them go

Now I'm growing old, and still wonder where they've gone

A piece inside my head is dying day by day

I was the golden child with wonders to be made

But I chose to play it safe, not stare into the sun

Started far up front, but ended last in line

You got to believe, you got to be strong

Born to be in doubt, but you knew it all along

A piece inside my head concealed in every way

Revealed before the dawn by the storm before the calm

A little less is more, a little less is all

That's what the wise man said, before he closed the door

But I'll refuse to play it safe, I will stare into the sun

I close my hands in anger and set aim for the storm

You got to believe, you got to be strong

Born to be in doubt, but you knew it all along

A piece inside my head concealed in every way

Revealed before the dawn by the storm before the calm

The storm before the calm

You got to believe, you got to be strong

Facing your demons, reload and move on

What's lost is found, all safe and sound

You spread your wings, standing on the shoulders of kings
