lyrics

All gold does not shine
And all shine is not gold
I legend I've been told
Grew on my mind and so
I found a clay so good
My fingers always knew
A heart is one who holds
The shape of life I mold

Yes you got a pretty box
Very fancy trendy box
But I don't fit in
Find me on the other side
When you break your window bars
Cause I won't fit in

When I was a kid
I was never taught to surrender
Summer used to last forever
When I was a kid
As far as I can remember
Dream was on the snap of my finger
When I was a kid

The truth that is on your side
As long as your know why
Then all the tears you'll cry
Won't leave the world to dry
Must I be confused
To lead this path I choose
Each time you say I must
That's when I won't come through
