Staring at the Sun

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
 Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
 Everyone's around, but no one does a dang thing
 It brings me down, but I won't let them
 If I seem bleak
 Well, you'd be correct
 And if I don't speak
 It's cause I get disconnected
 But I won't be burned by the reflection
 Of the fire in your eyes
 As you're staring at the sun
 As you're staring at the sun
 As you're staring at the sun
 As you're staring at the sun
 As you're staring at the sun
 ♪
 When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
 When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
 There's more to living than only surviving
 Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
 I know you hear me
 I don't think that you relate
 My will is something
 That you can't confiscate
 So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
 By destruction in your eyes
