Surprising Me

what else can I do sometimes
but shut my mouth and close my eyes?
hope I come out on the other side.

bravery isn't a choice I make,
just something sometimes I fake,
until it's real and I'm on my way.

but you say you see something
that I'm an up and coming
I'm meant for more than running.
stay tuned and I'll see,
one day I will get around
to surprising me.

quiet's always been my color,
at least when I was younger.
with age came a new hunger.

I shed shy like second skin,
and I found myself in
more fun than I've ever been.

and you say you see something
that I'm an up and coming
I'm meant for more than running.
stay tuned and I'll see,
one day I will get around
to surprising me.

not one for sticking around,
my roots aren't deep in the ground,
but you say it's okay for now.

I'm free to roam and be wild,
be a rebel or a flower child,
find out what makes me smile

cause you say you see something
that I'm an up and coming
I'm meant for more than running.
stay tuned and I'll see,
one day I will get around
to surprising me.
