Hey Now

Hey now… Hey now… I cried until they heard me I screamed until they turned I reached until they gave me Everything I wanted Then I learned that noise gets louder When somebody calls it strength And every time they clap for me I wanted more again Hey now… I want it all Hey now… I need it now I grew up with my fists raised I learned that force could win And every road I walked upon Left someone hurting in the wind But I never stopped to listen To the voices left behind I only heard the people saying “Go on — you’re right” Hey now… I want it all Hey now… I need it now The Weight of Wanting Makes me blind to what I break Still I want it all All the hands were clapping All the voices called my name But somewhere underneath it all I knew… Was I really right?
