lyrics

I wish that I could see
the person that everyone tells me they see
so my reflection
doesn’t feel like a stranger to me

And when I open my mouth
I hear my voice but I can’t seem to quite figure out
if I’ve been telling the truth
or anything I mean

But I will open my eyes
I’ll see the world brand new
I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve got something to prove
to nobody but myself

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away

I think it’s about time
learn to live in my body and get out of my mind
And maybe this time
I’ll get it right

I learned I can’t erase
I am the person I am because of choices I’ve made
I am the result of my victories
and my mistakes

But I will open my eyes
I’ll see the world brand new
I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve got something to prove
to nobody but myself

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away

I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away
