Can't you get it through your head
I don't like the way things used to be
Won't you ever understand
The way I was just wasn't for me

I really wish that you would try
To understand my reasons why
I changed for the better, I'm proud to say
Goodbye to what I threw away

Times have changed and so have I
I've learned a lot, my knowledge grew
What held me back I left behind
If you can't accept it then I'll leave you too

When I stopped I looked around
I left behind what was keeping me down

Now I can see things clear
Because I learn from all the words I hear
Break free from what is in your way
Make a change - it's not so hard to break away
