lyrics

Lyrics:

Dealing with the devils and the powers that may be
but they won't, but they won’t
Keep you from achieving all you said that you would do
that you want, that you want

“Don’t walk that onerous road”
they keep telling you
“Don’t ever walk down that road
“It’s a long road and life is too short to be spent on the way”

I am a riot, and I am a wave on the ocean
a mountain when I reach for the sky
and I will hold you up
I’m your air and your lungs
I am the change
I am the start and the end

I’ll be your wave

The judges and the parrots all line up along the road
as you walk, as you walk
Scolding you and telling you, you’re worthless as you pass
as you walk, as you walk

“Don’t walk that onerous road”
they keep telling you
“Don’t ever walk down that road
“It’s a long road and life is too short to be spent on the way”

I am a riot, and I am a wave on the ocean
a mountain when I reach for the sky
and I will hold you up
I’m your air and your lungs
I am the change
I am the start and the end

I’ll be your wave
