I am a question to the world   Not an answer to be heard   Or a moment that's held in your arms      And what do you think you'd ever say?   I won't listen anyway, you don't know me   And I'll never be what you want me to be      And what do you think you'd understand?   I'm a boy, no, I'm a man   You can't take me and throw me away      And how can you learn what's never shown?   Yeah, you stand here on your own   They don't know me 'cause I'm not here      And I want a moment to be real   Wanna touch things I don't feel   Wanna hold on and feel I belong      And how can the world want me to change?   They're the ones that stay the same   They don't know me 'cause I'm not here      And you see the things they never see   All you wanted I could be   Now you know me and I'm not afraid      And I want to tell you who I am   Can you help me be a man?   They can't break me as long as I know who I am      And I want a moment to be real   Wanna touch things I don't feel   Wanna hold on and feel I belong      And how can the world want me to change?   They're the ones that stay the same   They don't know me 'cause I'm not here      They can't tell me who to be   'Cause I'm not what they see   Yeah, the world is still sleepin'      While I keep on dreaming for me   And their words are just whispers   And lies that I'll never believe      And I want a moment to be real   Wanna touch things I don't feel   Wanna hold on and feel I belong      And how can the world want me to change?   They're the ones that stay the same   They don't know me 'cause I'm not here      I'm the one now 'cause I'm still here   I'm the one 'cause I'm still here   I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
