Torch

No, we don’t gotta be like them and we don’t even want to

Go take a look at the soul of a man who ain’t done more

than lift a goddamn hand

Well I got the mind to peel back your brain

I got the heart to pump through your veins

I got the bones to take on the shame

I got the torch to pass on the flame

I’m waiting for better things

I’ve waited all of my life

I’m falling, I’m freaking out

I’ve wasted all of my time

I get it, you don’t gotta work like me and you don’t gotta face my foes

But they said no at the very first show and I said

“Woah, just wait”

Cuz I got the mind to peel back your brain

I got the heart to pump through your veins

I got the bones to take on the shame

I got the torch to pass on the flame

As I sit in the valley, all the mountains subside

As my soul separates, I see myself from the sky

Now aware of the worth of the gift of life

I’m a piece of the earth, lucky to be alive
