She steps up to the mic with trembling legs and heart
As echoes of their laughter fill the spaces in her mind
Voices from the past say this life is just for some
And you would be much better as a waitress in a bar
Her fears naked as she sings in black and white
But her voice gives her wings to soar up high
And nothing else will do her right
He dances in his room, the shadows keep him safe
Thinks he never will be brave enough to do it on a stage
His fears naked as he dances in the dark
And his next door neighbor cries as she hides her poetry
Underneath her bed where the ghosts inside her head say it should be
Her fears naked as she writes in black and white
But her words give her wings to soar up high
And his dance gives him wings to soar up high
And nothing else will do them right
They face their father like they never thought they would
"Hey, here's the truth and you can take it if you want"
Let's not give more time to pretending that we are not who we are
'Cause life's too short to not be light, and proud
'Cause your pride gives you wings to soar up high
And nothing else will do you right
Yes, your pride gives you wings to soar up high
And nothing else will do you right
Nothing else will do you right
Do you right
