Capable - The Wild Reeds

He says, «You're awful young for 21

You’ve got some work to do

Bite your pencil harder than

You were planning to»

«You daydream slow, you sleep too quick

You need a sharper view

There’s much more out there than someone

Who’s lying next to you»

He said, «You're capable of so much more

Than these people give you credit for

And you just need to show it»

Growing up was not an easy movement for me

You nudge and nudge

You push and shove

And I might still stay asleep

And it’s a struggle to think on my feet

I fear the harsh regard

But friend, if you’d encourage me

I know I’d make it far

You said I’m capable of so much more

Than these people give me credit for

And I just need to show it

And my anger surrounds me

Like a coat when I shiver

I let it surround me with

These thoughts often so bitter

But friend, if you’d help me

I think I’d make it through this winter

You said I’m capable of so much more

Than these people give me credit for

And I just need to show it

Oh, I’m capable of so much more

Than you people give me credit for

And I just need to show it
