lyrics :

i have 2 brothers and a sister , and a mother ,
and a father who taught us that we should
all love one another ,
we go to church on sunday ,
in a little green hyundai ,
have some grape juice and crackers ,
then we start again on monday

and it’s all fine , and it’s all well ,
i really want to find what i believe for myself ,
’cause when you’re gone ,
and i’m still here ,
i won’t have you to tell me that i should be there

i’m tired of making excuses ( oh oh oh ) ,
need to decide for myself . . .

what if i stumble? what if i fall?
when i’m on my way to you ,
what if i need you? who do i call?
how do i know i’ll get through?
because i don’t wanna ride the fence anymore .
i wanna stand up , and shout it ,
and let it be known

i have 2 fathers , and a sister and a brother ,
and a mother who taught us that we should
all do unto others ,
my homeroom teacher , always talks about her preacher
and she says she talks to god ,
but i don’t know if i believe her

and it’s all fine , and it’s all well ,
i really want to find what i believe for myself ,
’cause when you’re gone ,
and i’m still here ,
i won’t have you to tell me that i should be there

i’m tired of making excuses ( oh oh oh ) ,
need to decide for myself . . .

what if i stumble? what if i fall?
when i’m on my way to you ,
what if i need you? who do i call?
how do i know i’ll get through?
because i don’t wanna ride the fence anymore .
i wanna stand up , and shout it ,
and let it be known

and you can tell me ,
that i can’t make a difference ’cause i’m just one ,
but one is all it takes to start it
and you can tell me ,
that i can’t change the world ,
because i’m too young ,
but i won’t stand here and be your target
and you can push me ,
and try to knock me down , but i won’t listen ,
’cause i’ve got nothing left to lose and ,
you can hate me , for everything i’m not ,
but it won’t change this ,
’cause now that i’m here , i’m not moving

i’m tired of making excuses ( oh oh oh ) ,
need to decide for myself . . .

what if i stumble? what if i fall?
when i’m on my way to you ,
what if i need you? who do i call?
how do i know i’ll get through?
because i don’t wanna ride the fence anymore .
i wanna stand up , and shout it ,
and let it be known
