Justify

They criticize and try to justify
All those times they made you cry
They push, they pull, they keep on pushing
Until you feel like giving in
And when you feel like this road
Just keeps right on going
Don't dare to turn around, stay in the fight
and don't let them see the fear in your eyes

It's about time you got what you deserve
And it's about time you see a better world
I hate to see you give up so easily
When you're not even halfway to where you could be
I wish you'd keep reaching for the stars
Instead of falling quickly behind
You've got so much to live for, so much to give for
And I won't stand around to watch you give it up

I know it feels like you've got no one there to back you up
And you think you're always falling short
But you're just as bright as any other star
And I'll always be here to catch you if you fall
I know you're afraid the world will let you down
and leave you lying broken on the ground
But you've got nothing to be scared of
let them love you for who you really are

It's about time you got what you deserve
And it's about time you see a better world
I hate to see you give up so easily
When you're not even halfway to where you could be
I wish you'd keep reaching for the stars
Instead of falling quickly behind
You've got so much to live for, so much to give for
And I won't stand around to watch you give it up


You want to see your name in lights
Don't let them take it without a fight
I know deep down how bad you want this
And you've got to stop resisting it
When you start down that road, don't ever look back
They'll break you apart if you give them the chance
Don't be afraid to stand your tallest
and stand out among the fallen

It's about time you got what you deserve
And it's about time you see a better world
I hate to see you give up so easily
When you're not even halfway to where you could be
I wish you'd keep reaching for the stars
Instead of falling quickly behind
You've got so much to live for, so much to give for
And I won't stand around to watch you give it up
