Capable

He says, "You're awful young for 21
 You've got some work to do
 Bite your pencil harder than
 You were planning to"
 "You daydream slow, you sleep to quick
 You need a sharper view
 There's much more out there than someone
 Who's laying next to you"
 He said, "You're capable of so much more
 Than these people give you credit for
 And you just need to show it"
 Growing up was not an easy movement for me
 You nudge and nudge
 You push and shove
 And I might still stay asleep
 And it's a struggle to think on my feet
 I fear the harsh regard
 But friend, if you'd encourage me
 I know I'd make it far
 You said I'm capable of so much more
 Than these people give me credit for
 And I just need to show it
 And my anger surrounds me
 Like a coat when I shiver
 I let it surround me with
 These thoughts often so bitter
 But friend, if you'd help me
 I think I'd make it through this winter
 You said I'm capable of so much more
 Than these people give me credit for
 And I just need to show it
 Oh, I'm capable of so much more
 Than you people give me credit for
 And I just need to show it
