Raise Songtext
von The Old Dead Tree

You ask yourself how you became
A man who can′t stand alone
You gave up on so many things
You just stopped counting them
Sometimes you have the feeling
That you should be someone else
That you should have done bigger things
You should live a bigger life

You disappoint nobody but yourself
Anyway, you remain unsatisfied
You wish you were bigger
More handsome and clever
You wish you were bright
Stronger in fights
But you're not, you′re just another schmuck
It's not about who you are
But who you want to be
Who you want to be


You blame yourself all the time
And you wish you were stronger
Just like your dad
You can't see, you can′t feel
And least of all be the same
Please realize that it is just a shame

And here they are all
Listen to me
It′s not about who you are
But who you want to be
Who you want to be

You beg for more
What are you waiting for?
Please step out of the shadow
There are many ways to grow
Alert and strong
Grow up

Life's not a treadmill
Running river carries on a current
You can embrace the future
Choose your own path
That spreads among your failed steps
I know you will soon find
