Nothing, Save the Power They're Given Songtext
von Being as an Ocean

These words might mean nothing
But it′s a chance I'm willing to take
′Cause maybe I'm wrong and lives can change
I'm singing out of my insecurity
So someone, somewhere might be impacted by what I′ve made

I fidget and sway back and forth
Biting my nails down until they bleed
There is a lie that I′ve believed
I'd tell you, but I′m so scared of what you'd think

So I apologize if I′ve caused you to wake
Just close your eyes and
Let the beat rock you back to sleep
I'll tell you in the morning
About how this man you see
Often times feels like a child
Self-conscious and weak


I′ll still put pen to paper
Try to explain these things
That invade my thoughts in my waking hours
Stories of kings and princes that have lost their way
God, we'd give anything just to feel safe

Deep down, we all know our worth
We just need someone to truly love us first
So we tiptoe around these crowded rooms
Hoping someone in attendance
Might be able to dress our wounds

We cry out without uttering a single word
So gather close, circle 'round
′Cause maybe you′ve just never heard
And I'll tell you the story of the love I′ve found
About the truth embedded in you long before your birth
I'll ask once more
What are these words worth?
