[Verse 1]
As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think long ago
I was brought into this life a little lamb, a little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there I lost my way
[Chorus]
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've made
They claim to walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me, or leave me high
[Verse 2]
Say "Keep within the boundaries
If you want to play"
Say "Contradiction only makes it harder"
How can I be what I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away these stilled constraints
[Chorus]
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuadin'
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up
And walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me, or leave me high
[Verse 3]
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
[Chorus]
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall
To walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me, or leave me high
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me, or leave me high
