Inner child
Defensive trap
Fighting back your siege
Skinny cat
Heckles up biting hands that feed
A chronic shame
A terrible waste
A hell of a way to save face
Inner child
It's okay, it's okay

You gotta take one small step everyday
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane

Hollow man
Biting his pain
Throwing a fit, he can't sleep
The bullet train
Shakes the patience out of this waiting game
A seventh day
Of arguing with the kid in the picture frame
"I'll take the blame" if you could hear his ashes say that

You gotta take one small step everyday
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane
One step everyday
Don't fight the change
Don't fight, don't fight it
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane

I didn't think I was stupid
It was all a fear
And I don't think I can do this without you here
I wouldn't take to erase all my mistakes and change your mind
I don't think I can do this but I think I have to

You gotta take one small step everyday
Don't fight the change
Just say what you have to say
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane
One step everyday
Don't fight the change
Don't fight, don't fight it
Ride your own wave
Soak up the rain
Make way for the hurricane
Make way for the hurricane
(One step everyday)
(Don't fight the change)
(Don't fight, don't fight the change)
