Lyrics

to everyone who?s ever been
put down by those around you
by grade school bullies, high school kids
the emptiness surrounds you
I?ve felt your frustration so many times I?ve cried
the pain I felt the guilt I held inside

who the hell are you
to talk down to me
to tell me what to do
to tell me who I?m gonna be

to anyone who?s ever been
abandoned by your lover
to everyone whose self esteem
you never could recover
I used to blame myself for all the failure that I found
but now I say to those who put me down

to everyone who?s ever tread upon my aspirations
to everyone who?s ever said I couldn?t be, shouldn?t be, wouldn?t be
