You call me crazy for daring to dream
You say I've lost my grip on reality
But crazy is quitting before you even begin
And I won't be kept down by your fatality.
There's too much glory inside me to hide,
And it'll claw its way out as it wants to.
I can't keep it in, and should never have tried,
Especially not for someone like you.
I won't stop
Till I achieve the dreams I'm meant to.
I will fly
Just to see how high I'll get to.
I'll lay out the stepping stones
As I make my way,
And being called crazy
Is a small price to pay.
You laugh when I fumble and claim you were right,
But mistakes aren't the end of the story,
Through your disbelieving, I'll continue to fight
To properly honor my glory.
It only appears like I've lost my direction
But that part of the tale is but half.
Every wrong turn is a chance for reflection,
Another reminder that I make the path.
(chorus)
I used to wonder why you couldn't just let me be happy...
Then I realized that I don't need you to let me do anything anymore.
(chorus)
Is a small price to pay...
Is a small price to pay...
