Staring at the Sun

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway

Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way

Everyone's around, but no one does a dang thing

It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak

Well, you'd be correct

And if I don't speak

It's cause I get disconnected

But I won't be burned by the reflection

Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway

When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away

There's more to living than only surviving

Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

I know you hear me

I don't think that you relate

My will is something

That you can't confiscate

So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated

By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway

When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away

There's more to living than only surviving

Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me

I don't think that you relate

My will is something

That you can't confiscate

So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated

By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

Maybe life is like a ride on the freeway

Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way

Everyone's around, but no one does a dang thing

It brings you down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak

Well, you would be correct

And if I don't speak

It's cause I get disconnected

And I won't be burned by the reflection

Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun

As you're staring at the sun
