Walking up the basement stairs
Mind full of the dreams of his creations and prayers
Wondering hoping praying that the tables will turn
Maybe there's a lesson that somebody will learn
Do they know oh oh
Do they know oh oh
How much he's longing for this one chance
Do they know oh do they
Do they know oh oh
This new world's got him oh so entranced
And he's begging
How long must I keep inside
Just to myself and hide
How can I make you know
I just want somebody to be proud of me
This is a gift I've got
Not that I've got a lot
Gotta let this light show
I just want somebody to be proud of me
Blinking back the tears in his eyes
Remembering his parents said that tough ones don't cry
But then they were the ones who told him not to hold on
Letting go is something he should learn to put on
Letting go oh oh
Letting go oh oh
This world is something he can't release
Letting go oh letting
Letting go oh oh
Will he ever learn to give up in peace
