Verse:
I don’t know what you’re trying to say to me.
Why can’t you, just let me be?
Sometimes I think I will never be free.
You’ve carved out your claim in my mind.
Bridge:
The same thing happens to me every day,
but I’m not broken by the things you say.
And I don’t have to be any certain way.
I won’t be captured by the jails you make.
Refrain:
Can’t you see that we’re all the same?
We don’t need these reigns,
On our hearts.
You bend minds of children,
and never set ’em straight.
Don’t you know that this just can’t go on?
Verse:
The force is strong but the strong survive.
It’s power’s weak where there’s will inside.
Yes, you can make monsters of men,
but, I’ll be no slave to thee!
Bridge:
The same thing happens to me every day,
but I’m not broken by the things you say.
And I don’t have to be any certain way.

Refrain:
Can’t you see that we’re all the same?
We don’t need these reigns,
On our hearts.
You bend minds of children,
and never set ’em straight.
