Lyrics

I seem so ordinary, I am a star, traveled so far
Someday you'll get to know me, 'til then be sure you're worthy
I am too kind, shelter your mind

Why can't you be more trusting, why don't you just become aware and share

I'm not too dumb to realize this is not easy for you
Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to you and hold you down

I know you're trying to hurt me, cast your stones, break my bones
You wish to be somebody 'cause you don't like who you are
What a shame, who is to blame?

Why don't you like who you are, why won't your old wounds go away and stay? I'm not here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you

Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to you and hold you down

Please remind me to tell the stories of all the lessons I've learn
Won't you listen, try not to fall in, and make the wrong turns I've made

In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play

but when it's time to grow up don't dump what youth has taught you

Why can't you be more trusting, why don't you just become aware and share

Why don't you like who you are, why don't your old wounds go away and stay

In time I think you'll realize in youth your time is here and now so play

I'm not here to stop you, to bash or worse to judge you

Circles linked forming bands of steel that dig in to you and hold you down
