What If

Always nice and shiny Always fit for fight Never show no weakness, always strive to look alright Always keep my head high No matter what's within Never need nobody, never let nobody in Try my best to adapt I try to stand in line Living up to what's expected If I'm choosing "your" path Will I do just fine? Will I be someone respected? Got a descent job Got a shiny car Living by the rule: possessions define who we are Got a nice position In my community Still these thoughts of endless treadmills never leaves me be Try my best to fit in I try to stand in line Living up to what's expected If I'm choosing "your" path Will I do just fine? Will I be someone respected? What if? We're wasting what's important Push aside the fact its more than meets the eye What if? Our actions are building bridges to the other side A divine path Try so hard to become What you want me to be I work so hard for all of you, for you to embrace me Can I rule my future? Or is it all destiny? Am I a prisoner of expectations, am I free? In a world of facades And minds as hard as steel Who can know whose false, and what's real? Sometimes I'm dreaming A dream where we all can be Just what we feel like Come walk, walk with me
