2. No one can tell you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, "Just stay here"

If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
