The Boy Who Lived

All my life I've waited
For a place to feel like home
With an open arm
Away from harm
And never alone

Well, I found a place I matter
But the future's so unclear
Like I'm in a maze
There's a million ways
It all could disappear

How do you go from sleeping
In a room under a stair?
To the one every one
Hangs their hopes on
It's more than I can bear

When you're standing on the edge
Looking out into the sky
Do you jump if you're not sure
That you can fly?

Can I be the one?
Could I change what's done?
Should I turn away
Refuse to stay
Or give all I can give?

Will I ever be
What they see in me?
If I learn to trust
Or am I just
The boy who lived?

Do you choose what's right or easy?
Pick the path that you can see?
No, I have to try
Look him in the eye
'Cause it's more than only me

It's the choices that define us
It shows the person that you are
So I'll stand my ground
Feel my heartbeat pound
'Cause I'm more than just this scar

As a wise man always told me
"In the dark, you'll find the light"
So I'll make my way and say
"I won't go down without a fight"

When you're standing on the edge
Looking out into the sky
You jump and hope
You grow your wings to fly

I can be the one
I can touch the sun
So I'll find a way
To a brighter day
And give all I can give

I can try to be
What they see in me
If I learn to trust
I'm more than just
The boy who lived

When your back's against the wall
And you stumble and you fall
Do you follow through or
Do you disappear into the crowd?

When it all comes down to you
You know what you have to do
This can't all be for nothing
I'll try to make you proud
I'll make you proud

I will be the one
Do what must be done
Standing side by side
Push the dark aside
'Til there's nowhere left to hide

I can try to be
What they see in me
If I learn to trust
I'm more than just
The boy who lived
