Leland Wright - Overcome

In the beginning I use to always sit with my head down on a high stool
Hanging around the corners doing what they told me acting like a complete fool
Tried to be cool but my foulness began to agitate people and it changed my mood
Through this though they can’t say nothing but “I’m strong”
Came out the pillars of fire unscathed and I carried on
Use to be so air headed and arrogant
Now I dream to only be more passionate
On a different path than others running a different race
Only thing that weighing me down is space but no one can control my pace
Now space can’t touch me I can’t explain fate
Use to be the one that was afraid to fly
Now I spread my wings and embrace the clouds that get me high
