Long Walk

Whippersnapper Long Walk歌詞
1.A New Chapter

Its time, its time to clean this slate And push our way past
anger into something new and honest. To shoulder the weight,
find our own way It's easier than you might think. We've heard
the same excuses for too long. Is anybody listening? Did you
notice that there's something missing? Or do you even care? If
you're willing to try, you're willing to change It's easier than
you might think. To find your own voice, sing your own song.
Find our own voice, find our own way, find the strength The
strength to change, sing our own song, stand alone. Its time to
break away and push our way past anger into something new and
hopeful. If you're willing to try, you're willing to change To
shoulder the weight and find our own way. Find our own voice;
sing our own song. Find our own voice, find our own way, find
the strength The strength to change, sing our own song, stand
alone. The time has come to turn the page to stand alone and
find a way. Changing still feel the same.


2.The Long Walk

This strength is This will is These are the only things I own.
Inspiration is still waiting Waiting for most of us to learn
that revolution is from the inside out. That revolution is from
the inside out There's a strength in survival say yourself this
soft recital. The words are forming, but the words are nothing
if they don't have meaning I see you nodding, do you stand for
something or were you just talking? Let's count our losses with
a one, two, three, four, five:six? seven?, eight ? Feels like
we're losing, but we've just begun so we might be winning We've
just begun so we might be winning. That revolution is from the
inside out Lets start today from the inside out.


3.Equations

Another round of one on one It's never time its not the place.
You made your mind up; I made comments meaningless Out in the
hall I heard you sighing. You held every breath you felt every
chain Hoping for a feeling but the feeling never came. You held
every breath you felt every chain Searching for a reason, but
the reason never came. Do you remember when you said? That there
was nothing you would change? What better feeling and you want
it all the time What better feeling and you want it What I
wanted, what you needed found the two were not related I waste
my time, write these lines, wait for something you can't find
The feeling's all but gone but still remains tonight. A close
encounter on the stair Echoes of laughter in the hall What
better feeling and you want it all the time, What better feeling
and you want it What I wanted, what you needed found the two
were not related I waste my time, write these lines, wait for
something you can't find The feeling's all but gone but still
remains tonight.


4.Sleeping Cure

Do you remember yesterday? You made a promise for tomorrow And I
woke up alone and you were gone. Things seem much more clear
today, It didn't matter anyway I woke up too late and found The
knives were all missing A note in the kitchen reads 'you never
listen I've left the door locked and I'm gone' Sentimental value
is gone. It's over now. I went for a walk today I thought I saw
you standing, smiling So I just turned my back and wandered on.
It's easy to get angry, it's easier to drown the memory But I'm
too proud to think I might be wrong There are pills on the
nightstand for sleeping so I can push you away from my mind.
Sentimental value is gone. It's over now.


5.Blinded

Blinded by sight, blinded by vision Blinded by touch is that all
you think there is Is this what you want? Is this what you
needed? A body of warmth borrowed for comfort and Used for the
night; used for a feeling Pushed to the side abandoned for
reasons That you'd rather hide afraid to reveal them To even
yourself- what are you running from? Late that night you're eyes
were burning Left inside a wound still open Close your eyes, you
feel that yearning Trust subsides- you've lost that feeling
Blinded by sight, blinded by vision Is this what you want? Is
this what you needed? Pushed to the side, used for a feeling
Used for the night, abandoned for reasons That you'd rather hide
afraid to reveal them And what is it worth? It keeps you from
asking the question inside What are you running from? Late that
night you're eyes were burning Left inside a wound still open
Close your eyes, you feel that yearning Trust subsides- you've
lost that feeling Late that night you're eyes were burning Trust
subsides- you've lost that feeling


6.Steady The Walls

You're too afraid to make your mind up for yourself You do
what's safe so you can ease the consequence, But there are
always consequences nonetheless confusion takes control. You've
no regrets at least that's what you tell yourself, But everyday
you seem to smile less and less You always wonder if you've
given up your only chance And should you blame yourself? Steady
the walls close in You hold your head Is this the end? Steady
the walls close in You hold your breath The room spinning And we
all lose our faith now and then We lose our strength we lose our
confidence But in some small way there's always hopefulness It's
easily regained. Taken for granted because it seems so obvious
Can't lose the feeling we can only let it slip Away from us when
we are tired from weariness We won't let it go. We can let it go
we can let it Steady the walls close in You hold your head Is
this the end? Steady the walls close in You hold your breath The
room spinning Not afraid to fall Not afraid of falling Follow
the path or find your way on your own There's always a risk
there's always another road Each of us face uncertainty all
alone Not afraid to fall Steady the walls close in A held out
hand Is this the end? Steady the walls close in We hold our
breath The room spinning


7.An Open Invitation

Take the time to listen something's calling in the air An open
invitation from the road As we leave our friends and our
families an uncertainty we share Are we strong enough to take
this on our own? At time it seems our will remains in question,
unanswered And everyday brings newfound strain and pressure
We're changing. The struggle is whether we keep it together and
grow Or break under pressure, falter or fail in our goal We're
taking this road for ourselves we can't follow the path that is
laid out for some. With strength from each other our family, our
brothers there's nothing we can't overcome. Take the time to
listen something's calling in the air An open invitation from
the world As you leave your friends and your family an
uncertainty they share; Are you strong enough to take this on
your own? It's not enough to shrug your shoulders saying;
'you're waiting' To take this step you can't hold back Embrace
it you're changing. The struggle is whether you keep it together
and grow Or break under pressure, falter or fail in your goal.
You're taking this road for yourself you can't follow the path
that is laid out for some. With strength from each other, your
family, your brothers, there's nothing you won't overcome. To
take this step you can't hold back Embrace it you're changing


8.Clotheshorse

She's lost. she's changed. She changed her clothes to change her
mind. Confused her worth with how she's seen in other's eyes And
I know, I've seen those eyes so cold and cruel and blind. And
we'll wait so long but won't be victims we will Let it go, close
our eyes, weigh its worth and say goodbye. Question:Do you want
a reason or a lie? Talking, but do you have the voice to speak
your mind? Too long you've hidden doubts behind a smile. Too
late:there is no such thing there's always time. She's lost.
she's changed. She yearns for something undefined And we'll wait
so long but won't be victims we will Let it go, close our eyes,
weigh its worth and say goodbye. Its never too late to change
your mind. We're not giving we're waiting. We're waiting to say
goodbye.


9.Shamefaced

It was the perfect night You were the perfect sight You have a
beauty all your own he said as he pulled his father's car to the
side of the road And when he put his hand over your mouth he
smiled and you were too afraid to scream Why do you blame
yourself? You try not to think about it One of these things is
not like the other One of the is not like another Searching your
face for clues in the mirror Turn on your smile and act like the
others Its time to not deny its not your fault its time to break
your silence And when he took you home In a voice of stone he
said the way you dress you're asking for it And no one will
believe you anyway And though the cut runs deep The shame runs
deeper; you try to keep it to yourself It tears you more apart
with everyday. Why do you blame yourself? You try not to think
about it One of these things is not like the other One of the is
not like another Searching your face for clues in the mirror
Turn on your smile and act like the others Its time to not deny
its not your fault its time to break your silence


10.The Day After Tomorrow

This house will be your prison until the morning light Comes to
free with feeling of uncertainty We may never know what we might
have been But at least you saved yourself from the anxiety
You've memorized your lines so well, Well I guess I've learned
to play my part with a certain subtle ease Concentrate on
television, sleeping pills, or lying still But I have to know
the cause if I'm to cure the disease Recess; reach the edge of
consummation Without warning turn and walk away Recess, past the
point of consolation With a warning turn and walk away. Turn and
walk away. But I have to know the cause if I'm to cure the
disease Have to know the cause, have to know the cause. Recess;
reach the edge of consummation Without warning turn and walk
away Recess, past the point of consolation With a warning turn
and walk away. Learn and walk away. This is resignation; I
resign myself not even try This is hesitation and I know it will
never satisfy.


11.Simple Words

He found a simple way to express himself; he explained it in a
note And then he settled down to excuse himself with the simple
words he wrote. And when he came around he was lying down in a
bed that's not his own And as the doctor signed his bill of
health these were the words the doctor spoke. He said 'this,
this is your life and you can either make the most of what you
have or you Can throw it all away, but there are people here
who'd give anything just to live another day' And the patient
cried, the doctor sighed as he turned and walked away, And he
left the patient lying there in the lonely bed he made.
Somewhere something went missing Still-life static and distant
Steadily losing its feeling stale eyes stare at the ceiling Too
much to say with simple words He found a simple way to express
himself and he wrote it in a song About a better world than the
one we have and the path that seems so long It's just another
way to find the words to say that the hopeless days are gone And
that you take this life and make the most of it and find a
meaning all your own. This, this is your life; you can accept it
or change it if you just make up your mind. Somewhere something
went missing Still-life static and distant Steadily losing its
feeling stale eyes stare at the ceiling Too much to say with
simple words You found yourself; your sight is clearing The veil
is gone. You stand alone.


12.Life Will Go On

No fuel for the engine No meal for the hungry mouth They say
that clothes make the man and you are made into a funeral
shroud. A flag at half-mast Do you admit defeat? Raise your eyes
up; raise your voice and sing. Sing to the world with a fist of
defiance high over head to the sun rising in the sky The reason
to live is the reason to question why Keep fighting, keep
thinking; life will go on I know how it feels when you think
you're the only one. No fuel for the engine No meal for the
hungry mouth They say that clothes make the man and you are made
into a funeral shroud. A flag at half-mast Will you admit
defeat? Raise your eyes up; raise your voice and sing. A flag at
full staff You won't admit defeat. Raise your eyes up; raise
your voice and sing. Sing to the world with a fist of defiance
high over head to the sun rising in the sky The reason to live
is the reason to
