How many more times..
must i fall into this ditch
before i open up my eyes
and decide
this is not how i wanna live...
How many more times
must i fall into the trench
before i finally realize
that i
can be so much more than this...
learning can hurt so bad sometimes
but maybe it will help me to find...

whatever it takes
to turn this all around
i've been gone so long
gotta make up this ground
whatever it takes
to be who i can be
i'm sure i can be more
than just what they see in me
and i'm willing to go through
whatever it takes....
