I have two brothers and a sister and a mother
And a father who taught us that we should all love one another
And we go to church on Sunday in a little green Hyundai
Have some grape juice and crackers then we start again on Monday
And it's all fine, and it's all well
I really wanna find what I believe for myself
'Cause when you're gone and I'm still here
I won't have you to tell me that I should be there
I'm tired of making excuses, oh, oh, oh
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble? What if I fall when I'm on my way to you?
What if I need you? Who do I call? How do I know I'll get through?
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore
I wanna stand up and shout it and let it be known
I have two fathers and a sister and a brother
And a mother who taught us that we should all do unto others
My homeroom teacher always talks about her preacher
And she says she talks to God but I don't know if I believe her
And it's all fine, and it's all well
I really wanna find what I believe for myself
'Cause when you're gone and I'm still here
I won't have you to tell me that I should be there
I'm tired of making excuses, oh, oh, oh
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble? What if I fall when I'm on my way to you?
What if I need you? Who do I call? How do I know I'll get through?
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore
I wanna stand up and shout it and let it be known
And you can tell me that I can't make a difference
'Cause I'm just one but one is all it takes to start it
And you can tell me that I can't change the world
Because I'm too young but I won't stand here and be your target
And you can push me and try to knock me down
But I won't listen 'cause I've got nothing left to lose
And you can hate me for everything I'm not
But it won't change this 'cause now that I'm here I'm not moving
I'm tired of making excuses, oh, oh, oh
Need to decide for myself
What if I stumble? What if I fall when I'm on my way to you?
What if I need you? Who do I call? How do I know I'll get through?
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore
I wanna stand up and shout it and let it be known
What if I stumble? What if I fall when I'm on my way to you?
What if I need you? Who do I call? How do I know I'll get through?
Because I don't wanna ride the fence anymore
I wanna stand up and shout it and let it be known
