Don't you remember when you were young? When the world seemed so bright. The stars shined ever so bright every night. You were happy to just play all day, Never knew you were wasting your life away. You were a child, and to you the future was so bright. You couldn't wait to grow up and make a difference, to show the world who you were. But then you grew up. You had to go to school. Your wild spirit was labeled as a mental defect. You were told to shut up and sit down. They didn't care what you stood for, because you were a child, and children don't know what they're talking about, right? Through the years you were told you

I used to be broken. I used to be wounded. I used to be hurting. I used to be crying. I wanted something, That would help me heal the wounds. Make the scars fade, And teach me to be stronger. When I discovered the music, The lyrics changed me. I've been healed, Nothing's ever done it so quickly. I used to be shy. I used to be desperate. I used to be hurt. I used to be vulnerable. Now I am stronger. I am ready to fight. I am stitching these wounds. I am setting the world on fire. This is who I used to be, And this is who I am now.
