We believe in a system that has long been broken
We turn the other cheek without a glimpse of emotion
Always looking out for number one
Why do you need more while others have none
Measure my worth by what I've done
not what I've become
I spanned the oceans I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible
Just because you want, doesn't mean that you need
We've come so far from the lives that we're meant to live
But there's so much more that I have left to give
We always borrow time that can't be given back
We let it slip away and never pick up the slack
I spanned the oceans I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life, aren't even things at all
Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible
Just because you want, doesn't mean that you need
Force fed and misled Now we hang by a thread
Force fed and misled But not me, I see red
You need to hear this
Measure my worth by what I've done
not what I've become
Are you listening
Measure my worth by what I've done
not what I've become
I've spanned the oceans I've seen the skies
That's all I'm ever gonna need to get by
My favorite things in life aren't even things at all
But they're the things that keep my heart full
