The tears in your eyes
Roll down off your cheeks
Your world’s crashing down
Onto your young shoulders
You fall to the ground
Burdened with the pain inside
But you gotta get up
And you’ve got to try

‘Cause you know
Deep down inside that

Life is a race
And you gotta keep on runnin’
And even if you fall
You gotta get up get up get up
On your feet ‘cause
Life is a race
And you gotta keep on movin’
And nothing can get in your way
‘Cause life is a race

Your heart’s beating fast
Faster than a bullet train
You fear for yourself
‘Cause the hurting is endless
The clock’s ticking fast
And you’re running out of time
So dry your eyes
And don’t stop to cry

‘Cause you know
Deep down inside that

Life is a race
And you gotta keep on runnin’
And even if you fall
You gotta get up get up get up
On your feet ‘cause
Life is a race
And you gotta keep on movin’
And nothing can get in your way
‘Cause life is a race

Rise out of the dark
And reach into the light
You gotta lift up the world
Like Atlas did long ago
Take those shards of glass
And piece them back together
This world is yours
And you have to remember

That you know
Deep down inside that

Life is a race
And you gotta keep on runnin’
And even if you fall
You gotta get up get up get up
On your feet ‘cause
Life is a race
And you gotta keep on movin’
And nothing can get in your way
Oh no
‘Cause life is a race
And you gotta keep on movin’
Life is a race oh yeah
‘Cause life is a race
And you’re running out of time
So even if you fall
You gotta get up get up get up
On your feet ‘cause
Life is a race
And you gotta keep on movin’
And nothing can get in your way

I’m a dreamer my head’s in the clouds
Once I’m up there, there’s no way down
You can’t find me just look into space
I’m up there, so start that bass yeah

I see you walkin’ down my street
And I swear my heart skips a beat
You call my name, but I’m not there
‘Cause I’m up in the atmosphere
You try to pull me back down to Earth
But it’s no use ‘cause I’m over you

I was young and unafraid
But I’m guessing that’s the reason that you stayed
I was Jekyll and you were Hyde
You’re the part of me that I always wanted to hide
Oh oh
But the truth comes through
And I’m wishing that I never even knew you

You told me that you really cared
You said that you would always be there
You played me like a violin
Strung me out so I let you in
But that’s not a problem anymore
‘Cause I’m pushing you out the door

I was young and unafraid
But I’m guessing that’s the reason that you stayed
I was Jekyll and you were Hyde
You’re the part of me that I always wanted to hide
Oh oh
But the truth comes through
And I’m wishing that I never even knew you

Daddy said get your head outta the clouds
Mama cried that there’s no way down
Feel the world move beneath my feet
There’s nothing stopping me

‘Cause I’m a dreamer, my head’s in the clouds
Once I’m up there, there’s no way down
You can’t find me just look into space

There’s a battle going on in my head
Should I stay, should I go, or do what you said
But it doesn’t even matter anymore
Can’t breathe, can’t sleep, can’t fight it
Feel like I’m running out of air
Trapped in a box with no exit
But there’s only one good way out
And there’s no turning back now

Now I’m leaving
Gotta go my own way
Gotta find my place
And it’s crazy
Seemed too good to be true
Now that I’m coming to
And I’ll miss you
The sun shining down on my face
With no regrets and no mistakes
I’m leaving

I’ve always dreamed of freedom
And watching a million sunsets
And going out stargazing
And the future before me is set
But now I’m just another missing girl
In this big place we call the world
But finally now I’m free
And there’s nothing stopping me

Now I’m leaving
Gotta go my own way
Gotta find my place
And it’s crazy
Seemed too good to be true
Now that I’m coming to
And I’ll miss you
The sun shining down on my face
With no regrets and no mistakes
I’m leaving

Now this is looking like a foreign space
With many unfamiliar faces
And the sky looks way less blue
And the people here seem strange too
This is not the home I knew
This is one thing I can’t undo
With or without you

Now I’m leaving
Gotta go my own way
Gotta find my place
And it’s crazy
Seemed too good to be true
Now that I’m coming to
And I’ll miss you
The sun shining down on my face
With no regrets and no mistakes
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
I’m leaving

Your smile lights up the room
Your laugh is funny too
There’s joy in everything you do
But I can tell you’ve built a wall I see it when you stall
And cower away from it all

So I’m saying reach out
Further, louder
Shout
Find your inner voice
And let your heart shine through

Cause you’re a star, shining in the sky
You’re a fire, raging far and wide
And someday you will see
That you’re a bird, I’ll watch you spread your wings
And you’re my song, playing on and on
And it don’t matter what you do
It’s the beautiful you

You watch the sun rise
Something you can’t immortalize
But somehow you revitalize
My faith, in humankind
I never thought that love was blind
But you’ve known that for all your life

So I’m saying reach out
Further, louder
Shout
Find your inner voice
And let your heart shine through

Cause you’re a star, shining in the sky
You’re a fire, raging far and wide
And someday you will see
That you’re a bird, I’ll watch you spread your wings
And you’re my song, playing on and on
And it don’t matter what you do It’s the beautiful you

Try to understand
All of my demands
You don’t have to hide
The love you feel inside

Na na na na na, oh yeah
Cause you’re a star, shining in the sky
You’re a fire, raging far and wide
And someday you will see
That you’re a bird, I’ll watch you spread your wings
And you’re my song, playing on and on
And it don’t matter what you do
It’s the beautiful you

I fell in love with you last year
They said stay away
‘Cause this boy will disappear
I know you didn’t mean to leave me alone
But here I am, standing on my own
Oh, oh
I remember us kissing in the rain
It’s cliché I know but I loved it all the same
Singing karaoke badly at a bar
We seemed crazy to anyone who saw

Tired of sitting by the phone
For the man that won’t come home
That’s why I spend all my time

Chasing shadows on the moon
All through the night
Wondering when you’ll give up This fight
Chasing shadows hoping I don’t find
My fallen angel
My fallen angel

They said they needed a good, true soul
So they took you under their wings
And shipped you off to war
You told me to keep my faith strong
That’s why I‘ll never say that you’re really gone
But lately I’ve been thinking
I can hear your voice singing
Oh, oh

Tired of sitting by the phone
For the man that won’t come home
That’s why I spend all my time

Chasing shadows on the moon
All through the night
Wondering when you’ll give up

Trying to hold back all these tears
After all of these years of living in fear
And now I’m just laying here with an open heart
With all my love ripped apart

‘Cause every night I look up to the sky
And wonder why
I can’t hide from the storm inside
You say come don’t be afraid
Just take a big leap of faith
I jump you shove me down
Tonight I turned away

And then thunder shook the ground
Turning my world upside down
And then thunder shook the ground
Pulling me up from six feet down
After all these years you only taught me how to fall
But you can’t knock me off of my knees
I’m learning how to crawl
‘Cause thunder shook the ground
Yeah
Thunder shook the ground
And I’m not afraid

These heartbreaks in my eyes
Have burned up all my pride
Looking at myself in shattered glass
Trying to find that girl from the past

‘Cause every night I look up to the sky And wonder why
I can’t hide from the storm inside
You say come don’t be afraid
Just take a big leap of faith
I jump you shove me down
Tonight I turned away

And then thunder shook the ground
Turning my world upside down
And then thunder shook the ground
Pulling me up from six feet down
After all these years you only taught me how to fall
But you can’t knock me off of my knees
I’m learning how to crawl
‘Cause thunder shook the ground
Yeah
Thunder shook the ground
And I’m not afraid

A lonely puppet on moving strings
Who just wants to be real, wants to think
It is my time to cut loose
I am so done being your fool

Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, don’t walk away from me
I’m broken but I’m standing here so why can’t you see
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away, don’t walk away from me
I’m broken but I’m standing here so why can’t you see

That thunder shook the ground
Turning my world upside down
And then thunder shook the ground
Pulling me up from six feet down
After all these years you only taught me how to fall
But you can’t knock me off of my knees
I’m learning how to crawl
‘Cause thunder shook the ground
Yeah
Thunder shook the ground
And I’m not afraid
Yeah I’m not afraid
Yeah I’m not afraid
