A Million Voices

Sometimes I feel like I am
Just another drop in the water
Like I can't separate myself from
The faces of a million others
With every step I'm treading
In the footprints of those who came before me
And now inside I'm dreading
That every word I write is just a copy

So the darkness creeps inside
Then it spreads into my mind
Oh the darkness creeps inside
Then it spreads into my mind

Set me apart from a million other voices
Choose me above all that you see
Please don't hold me responsible for my choices
They don't belong to me
Oh don't belong to me

I can feel my chest tighten
When I hear my melodies in someone's writing
And I don't know why I'm frightened
Of someone else out there like me succeeding
The funny thing I've learned from fear is:
When you let it in and face it, it gets smaller
So I sit with it and hear it,
Peaceful in the chaos and disorder

I let the darkness creep inside,
Let it spread into my mind
I let the darkness creep inside,
Let it spread into my mind It says

"Set me apart from a million other voices
Choose me above all that you see
Please don't hold me responsible for my choices
They don't belong to me
Oh don't belong to me"

And I have feared, next to yours,
That my light wont be seen shining
And there's just not room for two
But as they cheered, the applause
Began gently to remind me
That I'm stronger thanks to you

It sets me apart from a million other voices
But makes me at one with all I see
Cos I am solely responsible for my choices
And only me
Oh and only me
Oh and only me
