[English]

The beginning was so easy

Do whatever to survive

In the middle of my story

All I want is to feel alive

And I am not my mother or father

And I am not yesterday's son

I'm not broken, I'm a wide open highway with room to run

...

All these voices and decisions

Swimming circles in my head

All these choices and opinions

Feeling heavy as love

And I am not my mother or father

And I am not yesterday's son

I'm not broken, I'm a wide open highway with room to run

...

In the middle of my story

All I want is to feel alive

...

And I am not my mother or father

And I am not yesterday's son

I'm not broken, I'm a wide open highway with room to run
