We want to grow big
We want to ring a bell
And yet, we are afraid
To break our own shell

We want to become better
Be the face of change
And yet, we are afraid
To step out of our range

We want to make a difference
Make the things right
And yet, we are afraid
To give up the silly fight

Those big speeches
Those big words
They all can go rot
The only peace we ever need
Is with our own thoughts

With our own thoughts
