Rewrite History
WHISPERS IN THE WIND
STORIES AND BONES
REST BENEATH STONES
AND ALL WE ARE IS LEFT ALONE
SO MUCH UNKNOWN
HOW CAN WE EVER ATONE?
IS ALL WE LEAVE
ALL WE BELIEVE - MANIFESTED
OR WE ARE ALL VESTED
WITH ONLY THE HOURS
THAT MAKE UP THE SEASONS
THAT MAKE UP THE REASONS WE LIVE FOR
AND NOTHING MORE
I’M NO HERO
I’M NO SAINT
NO RENEGADE OR DEITY
AND I NEVER SET OUT TO BE
I’M NO PIONEER,
I’M NO ONE TO REVERE
I’M NO REVOLUTIONARY
AND I NEVER SET OUT TO BE
ANYONE BUT ME
(inst. solo)
FATE KEPT ME,
ALMOST LIKE A REVERIE
ALMOST LIKE I NEVER WAS AT ALL
MAYBE IT WAS KIND,
MAYBE I DON’T MIND
MAYBE THEY COULD SEE THAT IT JUST WASN’T TIME
I’M NO HERO
I’M NO SAINT
NO EMBLEM OF HUMANITY
I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO BE
I’M NO PIONEER,
I’M NO ONE TO REVERE
I’M NO REVOLUTIONARY
UNTIL WE REWRITE HISTORY
Time To Go
THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN REASONS
I COLLECTED THEM FOR YEARS
WITH ALL THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT AND ALL THEIR TEARS
SO I HAVE NEVER WONDERED
NO, I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN
I’D BE PLANNIN' MY EXIT
A DAY'D COME WHEN I’D GROWN
BRAVE ENOUGH TO SAY THE WORDS
STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND ALONE
NO MORE WAITING FOR TOMORROW
THIS IS MY TIME TO GO
I CAN’T BEAR IT ANY LONGER
IN THIS PRISON OF FENCES AND DIRT
THERE’S JUST GOT TO BE MORE OUT THERE
MORE THAN ALL OF THIS PRETENDING AND HURT
AND I WON’T WAIT ANY LONGER
I’VE WASTED TOO MUCH TIME
ON WHAT THEY WANT WHEN I KNOW THAT I’M
NEVER GONNA BE THAT GIRL,
AND SO…
THIS IS MY TIME TO GO
EVERY WISH THAT I HAD TO HIDE
MIGHT BE WAITING FOR ME ON THE OUTSIDE
OF THE ONLY TOWN I’VE EVER KNOWN
ITS SMALL AMBITION I’VE LONG OUTGROWN
I WANT MILES AND MILES OF OPEN ROAD
MOUNTAINS TO MAKE MY HEART EXPLODE
ADVENTURE ON THE OPEN SEA
AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN AFFORDED ME.
PAPA, FORGIVE ME
MAMA, PLEASE DON'T CRY
YOU ONLY DID THE BEST THAT YOU COULD DO
AND I’M SORRY FOR THE PAIN
I HAVE, AND AM, AND WILL CAUSE YOU.
BUT I’M DONE PLAYING VICTIM TO CIRCUMSTANCE
I AM READY AND WILLING TO TAKE ANY CHANCE
AND NEVER AGAIN BE ANYONE'S BURDEN TO BEAR
AND I DON’T CARE IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
THEY CAN GO ON AND KEEP THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND
THIS IS MY CHANCE TO CHANGE MY FATE
AND I WON’T WAIT.
THERE’S A CALLING OUT INSIDE MY HEART
I AM LISTENING AND READY TO START
THERE’S A WHOLE NEW LIFE I’M READY TO KNOW
THIS IS MY TIME TO GO
Living Out Loud
I CAN’T LOOK AWAY
I CAN’T HELP BUT STARE
THERE IN A MIRROR
EVERYTHING IS CLEARER
WHY DO I
FEEL SUCH ELATION
IT’S A STRANGE SENSATION
AND IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME
I FEEL LIKE HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON
I FEEL LIKE YELLIN’ IN THE WIND
FEEL LIKE I’M RUNNING ON THE RAILS
I GOT A STORM BEHIND THESE SAILS
AND IT WAS BREWIN’ ALL THE WHILE
TOOK A CHANCE, AND THROUGH THE DOOR
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE LIGHT
AND LIKE I NEVER FELT BEFORE
HEY -
I ONLY WISH THAT THEY COULD SEE ME NOW
STANDIN’ TALL AND PROUD
READY TO MARCH BEFORE THE CROWD
AND START LIVING OUT LOUD
ALWAYS SURROUNDED, BUT ALONE
THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWN ME AS I’VE GROWN
THEY MADE IT HURT TO LET ‘EM GO
MADE ME QUESTION, NOW I KNOW
THIS IS THE PLACE THAT I WAS HEADIN’
ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS TREADIN’ WATER THROUGH THE YEARS
FILLED WITH DOUBT AND FILLED WITH FEARS.
ONLY KNEW THE WAYS THAT I WAS WRONG
ONLY KNEW THE WAYS THAT I WAS WRONG
HEY -
I ONLY WISH THAT THEY COULD SEE ME NOW
SEE ME AND BE PROUD
WATCH ME MARCH BEFORE THE CROWD
AND START LIVING OUT LOUD
LIVING OUT LOUD
ALL THE THINGS THEY SAID I COULDN’T DO
SINCE THE DAYS I WAS A KID
THEY SAID GIRL, THE WORLD DOESN’T CHANGE IN A DAY
WELL, MINE JUST DID.
