Afraid to Be - Carried Away

They keep telling me, telling me

Where to go and who to be

And I stand here waiting

Of dreams they say I’m not chasing

Say they don’t understand difference

Change the man

And I know I know where I land

This isn’t a cheap shot

Now give it some deep thought

Open spaces and empty faces

Have taught me where I need to be

It’s here in the moment oh I know it

Oh I know it!

There are times I feel so useless

Cold and lifeless a total nuisance

The judgement deep inside of me

Somewhere I can’t even see

There has to be a change

Is it me or am I strange

Oh the things that people say

oh the things the people say…

Open spaces and empty faces

Have taught me where I need to be

It’s here in the moment oh I know it

Oh I know it!

Sitting here and talking to my walls

The screams shake my faults

All the changes deep inside of me

No one has ever seen

… all the changes deep inside of me

I can’t be afraid to be!
