Defiance
Look clearly, then believe
 I lead my life alone
 You may ask why I do that
 But the truth is not yours to know
 Because you will doubt what I'm about
 Then my spirits will fade away
 Then I'll be trapped within your attack
 With dreams being my escape
 To aspire; be inspired
 By long, hard roads that drift ahead
 By your demanding comes no understanding
 Why I would choose to forget
 Safe comforts that drift in slumber
 Now I risk sleeping with wolves
 But free is free and I am me
 And that's a choice you'll never know
 Because you won't know what it's like to roam
 To run to where kingdoms could be
 So I run swift, otherwise I might miss
 The morning sun rising in glory
 So you won't choose what I'm to do
 You will have no control
 Because this day is mine to escape
 So now I'll be going all on my own
