Surely, these are problems
I can overcome – cause I don’t fight, I don’t run
In circles, all for nothing, but all I know
Is what I have, and what I haven’t done
Oh oh, have done, oh oh yetttt., oh oh, yet
And I haven’t done, oh oh, have done, oh oh, yet, oh oh, yet
Cause I’m qualified, destined to survive
And all-in-time, I’ll know when, know how, know why
I break my back, for what, I’ve never had
But I don’t see, the better side of me, yet
Oh oh, of me yet, oh oh , yet, oh oh, yet
I don’t see, yea, oh oh, me yet, oh oh, yet, oh oh, yet
Surely, these are memories,
Meant to be - a fire under feeble feet
Cause someday, I’ll be different, and satisfied
With who I am, and who I haven’t been, oh oh,
Have been, oh oh yet, oh oh, yet, and I haven’t been
I’m qualified, destined to survive and
All in time, I’ll know when, know how, know why
I break my back, for what I’ve never had
But I don’t see, the better side of me…
Oh oh, of me yet, oh oh , yet, oh oh, yet
I don’t see, yet, oh oh, me yet, oh oh, yet, oh oh, yet
Heartache – I know it, weakness - I show it
Courage I’m claiming, fear that I’m blaming
Help I receive it, fight when defeated
Fault I will own, it’s me that I still don’t know
I’m qualified, destined to survive and
All-in-time, I’ll know when, know how, know why
I break my back, for what, I’ve never had
But I can see, the better side of me, yea oh oh
Me yea oh oh, yea, oh oh, yea, I can see yea, yea oh oh
Me yea oh oh, yea, oh oh, yea. I can see yea, oh oh, me yea, oh oh
Me yea oh oh, me yea, oh oh, me yea, oh oh, me yea, oh oh,
Me yea oh oh, me yea, oh oh.
