What are you waiting for?

Why won't you make a sound?

Boy don't you hold back

Son don't you slow down

Your family sings melodies

Why won't you listen boy?

Your family sings melodies

Why won't you listen boy?



Try to remember

The guilt will never go

You already know

I'm not the first to say

The world is yours to hold



Why won't you fight?

Why won't you make this right?

Put up your fists

Take back your fucking life

Now is the time for you to get up

And change your life



What are you waiting for?

Why won't you make a sound?

Boy don't you hold back

Son don't you slow down

Your family sings melodies

Why won't you listen boy?

Full speed ahead

If you trip, life's a bitch

So get up and do it again

I wouldn't say to leave your dreams at bay



Why won't you fight?

Why won't you make this right?

Put up your fists

Take back your fucking life

Now is the time for you to get up

And change your life



What are you waiting for?

Why won't you make a sound?

Boy don't you hold back

Son don't you slow down

Your family sings melodies

This is the only way I feel at home

I wont let go, its all I know
