Whatever we choose
The future's ours to write
We can make it work
We can make it right tonight

Throw it all out to the wind
And escape into the night
We can learn to fight
Through the darkness to the light

Anything can try to make me stop
But I'm gonna keep going, hey yeah
With the idea that I'm not
Something that can be broken, yeah

Can't keep me locked away
With more promises, promises
Fame and greed and money
Be careful what you wish for
Walk through the right door and
They'll throw away the key
Till there's nothing left
Nothing left of me
That's human

How long did you think that
You could run my life this way
It was a heavy price to pay
To pretend that nothing was ever wrong
Didn't you see my smile fade

Anyone can push me to the side
But I'm gonna keep walking, yeah
With everything inside I'm gonna fight
Till the end I'll keep talking, Oh oh

Can't keep me locked away
With more promises, promises
Fame and greed and money
Be careful what you wish for
Walk through the right door and
They'll throw away the key
Till there's nothing left
Nothing left of me
That's human

I'll live this moment like the last one
I'll live it for myself
I'm not gonna let the past haunt me
No, no, no
And like the caged bird sings
I'm gonna let it out
You thought you could break me

Can't keep me locked away
With more promises, promises
Fame and greed and money
Be careful what you wish for
Walk through the right door and
They'll throw away the key
Till there's nothing left
Nothing left of me
That's human

You've got to, you've got to
You've got to do it for yourself
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to do it for yourself
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to do it for yourself
You've got to, you've got to
You've got to do it for yourself

And like the caged bird sings
I'm gonna let it out.
