I am a question to the world,
Not an answer to be heard
All 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 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
The 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 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 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 can't see me,
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be,
‘Cause I'm not what they see
And the world is still sleepin',
While I keep on dreamin' 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 they say I never change
They're the ones that stay the same
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
