I have seen it from afar Saw its teeth and felt its claws Felt it ripping me apart To find my place among the stars Far too great a toll it's played on me The pull of popularity Trying to squeeze into a mold Just an actor in a role But I'm through with being you I know it's okay to be me It's okay, is it okay? It's okay, is it okay? I'm through with being you I know it's okay to be me How great a joy it is to see This hidden gold and dried up strings I'll grow in this discovery And rest in what it'll bring It's okay, is it okay? It's okay, is it okay? Far too great a toll it's played on me Far too great a toll it's played on me Far too great a toll it's played on me Well at first I was too blind to see Far too great a toll it's played on me The animal of destiny I have seen it from afar Saw its teeth and felt its claws They'll be ripping me apart To find my place among the stars It's okay, is it okay? It's okay, is it okay? It's okay, is it okay? It's okay, is it okay? Far too great a toll it's played on me Far too great a toll it's played on me
