if i may
i wanted to tell you something
meant for everybody
we are all people
no greater no less
no better no worse
you and me
we are the same
anything i do or say
offends you
know that i didn't intend
if you need to turn away
turn away
if you need to judge
deliver if you must
i am less than prepared

we are the poets
we are the dreamers
we are the soldiers
we are the screamers
we are the fallen to rise again
we are the lovers
we are the cynics
we are the hours
we are the minutes
we are all friends in the end
why be alive
if you don't follow your every dream
reach to heaven and stand for what you believe
we don't need wings to be angels
we don't need reasons to be right
your love makes us all better
that's who we really are
angels and heroes at heart
we are the givers
we are the receivers
we are confessors
we are believers
we are the strange familiar face
we are afraid and so we follow
we're underpaid so we borrow
we mine for tears
but much too late
why can't we open our hearts
open our minds
forgiving is easy
for you will come
if we open our eyes
we don't need to sleep to be dreamers
we don't need to have tears in our eyes
i know it seems easier to run and hide
bury your emotions deep in the night
it's worth the fight
just aim for the light
