Yesterday, I wanted to say….
But my own words they got in the way
Many days, I wanted to do….
But somehow, again, I failed to come through

Everyday, I wanted to laugh…
But emptiness caused me to choke on the draught…
And most days that I tried to dance…
Life had decided it had other plans !

CHORUS 1

So I shouldn’t, couldn’t, can’t and I don’t
Drop the armour, ever, let myself venture out

Will never be able to get past the doubt
And that’s why I’m stuck here forever and won’t

BRIDGE

But somewhere inside something screams – let me out !
Like I’ll never be heard, even though I may shout !
Some part of me wants so bad to be seen –
So then why do I hide like I’m trapped in between?
If only I could believe in me ….


And one day, I wanted to know,
An ideal way to savour a rainbow;
I tried to take a great picture –
But It’s essence was lost, the colours a mixture –

So from today, until I die,
I’ll open wide these cynical eyes;
Rainbows aren’t mine to capture –
But rather a source for my soul to find rapture ;


Chorus 2

So I should and I could, I can and I will;
Dare to be me and be bold and fulfilled

I can walk past old me, leaving nothing but dust
I can be my own hero and in me, I can trust


All the days, I’m wide awake now,
Leaving the door open, I can allow;
It seems I’ve been the only thing –
That stands in the way of all that I bring

On this day, I know just what to do;
I’ll step out of my way, and let myself through;
I’ll try and avoid all the land mines –
But I’m tired of living my life from the sidelines ….


Chorus 2

So I should and I could, I can and I will;
Dare to be me and be bold and fulfilled

I can walk past old me, leaving nothing but dust
I can be my own hero and in me, I can trust
