Given the chance to run in the race   The battle is on to win, show or place   Am I the one expected to be   Everything you want of me      My heart is fading in the time that it takes to blink   My confidence is slowly washing down the sink   Gotta move forward, leave that all behind      I do what I do, it's all I can do, you know?   I do what I do, it's all I can do   I do, I do, do you?      Eyes looking down critically, feeling their breath on me   Under the scope, they read every word   Defining what's good, what's absurd      Used to be that the world was intimidating   That was light years ago, just a passing fancy   Gotta move forward leave that all behind
