I'd rather dance in the air   than lie on the ground.   I'd rather my open my ears   than shut out the sound.   Travel to the ends of the Earth   and tell you what I found.      I rather kneel down and pray    than scream at the sun.   Prefer to know than   to hide from my skeletons.   I don't want to sit down and cry    while watching others run.       If I missed the bus more than once,   I'm not the only one.   Don't wanna wait around    for things to come to me.   'Cause when my hands are tied,    they struggle to be free.   And if they steal my eyes,    I'll find a new way to see.      The world's forever turning,    and there's a thought that never stops burning.   If I'm pounding at your door,    it's because I'm here to ask for more.   The world's forever turning,    and there's a thought that never stops burning.    If I'm pounding at your door,    it's because I'm here to ask for more.      Prefer a thousand hello's   to just one goodbye.   Prefer the pain of the truth    to a pretty lie.   Listen to the words in my head,   although they may not rhyme.   Listen to the voice in my heart,    somedays it's so sublime.   Don't wanna wait around    for things to come to me.   'Cause when my hands are tied,    they struggle to be free.    And if they steal my eyes,    I'll find a new way to see.      The world's forever turning,    and there's a thought that never stops burning.   If I'm pounding at your door,    it's because I'm here to ask for more.   The world's forever turning,    and there's a thought that always burning.    If I'm pounding at your door,    it's because I'm here to ask for more.
