I get up day after day

It's an ordinary day

I already know how it'll go

The weight of a necessary path

That I have to take

Because there's never a choice

Of your walls, your land

That lock us in tight

The narrowness of a solitary greatness

But what's the point?

To measure up

To what you're asked

What others expect

And beat your fear

Of measuring up

To common mortals

To answer the call each day

And put your heart into it

Of measuring up

It's a daily duty

A costume you must wear

For a role that leads nowhere

But must we really submit to it

Until the end?

To measure up

To what you're asked

What others expect

And beat your fear

Of measuring up

To common mortals

To answer the call each day

And put your heart into it

Of measuring up

Of measuring up

To measure up

Without ever stepping down

And not defend yourself

For wanting to steal a heart

To measure up

Any other way but mortal

Finally stop answering the call

Stop being afraid

Of measuring up

Up to it

Up to it

To measure up

Any other way but mortal

Finally stop answering the call

Stop being afraid

Of measuring up

Stop being afraid

Of measuring up
