Don't Have To Take It - John Schlitt

Joey is a boy like some

Who thinks that risk is fun

But blinded eyes can never

See the price to come

The sacrifice he’s paying

Can’t slow down

This race he’s running

To stay around

He must keep moving

So controlled by the pace of his surroundings

He’s got no chance of his own

Hey!

hey!

hey!

It’s time that we face it

Hey!

hey!

hey!

We don’t have to take it

Julie is a perfect child

To all there is no doubt

But few can clearly see from

Inside looking out

The fear she’s really feeling

How do i look?

am i ok?

Do i fit in?

what are they saying?

So concerned over how the others see her

She’s lost all sight of herself

Your worth does not depend on man

It’s more than he could understand

Don’t set your price

Through other’s eyes

There’s so much more
