Give That All Is All

For the millionth time I talked myself out of exploring the next step
About to walk through an open door, waved in by a welcoming hand
It's supposed to be the way for me to travel forward, in a skip
Tripping on my own No, becoming my own worst fan
Why do I leave me feeling gone inside?
Who do I think I am to have even tried
To go beyond the all

For a hundred times today I picked a pen up and set it down yet
I wanted to feel the words in your heart, and let it begin
The harmony just spilled from me til I forget
There's a pain of success that's starting
Who do I have to impress inside?
Who do I think I am to even have tried

To go beyond the all is all I need to do
I find my words are alway reaching out to you
In all I sing, in all I write, in all I do
But then I hide it
deep inside it
gives it all
hides it all
in view

For the millionth time I doubted my own magic, kept inside the hat
About to read through a pleasant note, sent by a fan who dotes
It's supposed to be the way for me value something, or so that
Giving out a legacy, something from inside of me
Why do I hide in the dark worlds?
Who do I owe these blood spilled words?
To go beyond the all

To go beyond the all is all I need to do
I find my words are alway reaching out to you
In all I sing, in all I write, in all I do
But then I hide it
deep inside it
gives it all
hides it all
in view
knowing that you want to
see it, too
It's all I give for you
