Lyrics
Expectancy
So the shadow falls, pulled out from you
growing longer as, a light grows in you
Did I match the Tale, the evil one
Was your heart held back or the logic in you
And I?m glad to be the one who didn?t meet your expectancy
because I know you thought I?d fail
And I?m proud to be the one who went much further than you could see
cause I know you thought I?d fail
And a young child asks, can you show me please?
Curiosity fade, beneath an angry stare.
But the flame is fanned, by some inner pride.
And before too long, he?ll return to say
I?m glad to be the one who didn?t meet your expectancy
because I know you thought I?d fail
And I?m proud to be the one who went much further than you could see
cause I know you thought I?d fail
I?m glad to be the one who didn?t meet your expectancy
because I know you thought I?d fail
And I?m proud to be the one who went much further than you could see
cause I know you thought I?d fail
Solo
And the pages turn, with the slightest ruffle
their dog ear corners, speaking volumes
A tear stained page, where the book falls open
a hurried letter, discarding you
And I?m glad to be the one who didn?t meet your expectancy
because I know you thought I?d fail
And I?m proud to be the one who went much further than you could see
cause I know you thought I?d fail
