i am the question to the world
not an answer to your word
on a moment that's hanged to your own
and what do you think you'd ever say
i won't listen anyway
you won't rule 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 all alone
they don't know me cuz i'm not here

and now for the 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 who stay the same
they don't know me cuz i'm not here

and you see the things they never see
all you wanted i can be
now you know me and know i'm afraid
and i wanna 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 now for the 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 can’t see me but i'm still here

they can't tell me who to be
cuz i'm not what they see
yeah the world is just sleepin
while i keep on dreamin for me
and their words are just whispers
and lies that i’ll never believe

and now for the moment to be real
wanna touch things i don't feel
wanna hold on and feel i belong
and how can they say i never change
they're the ones who stay the same
i’m the one now cuz i’m still here

i’m the one who’s still here
i’m still here
