Steady The Walls
The Whippersnappers Lyrics

You're too afraid to make your mind up for yourself
You lack the courage to make decisions independently

You do what's safe so you can ease the consequences
You opt for safe choices to avoid the unpleasant outcomes

But there are always consequences nonetheless
Regardless of your choices, consequences are inevitable

Confusion takes control
You feel overwhelmed by indecision and uncertainty

You've no regrets, at least that's what you tell yourself
You try to convince yourself that you have no regrets

But every day you seem to smile less and less
You feel increasingly unhappy with the consequences of your choices

You always wonder if you've given up your only chance
You question if you missed your only opportunity

And should you blame yourself?
You contemplate if you should hold yourself responsible for your choices

Steady the walls close in
The situation is becoming increasingly suffocating

You hold your head
You feel overwhelmed and stressed

Is this the end?
You fear the worst outcome

You hold your breath
You are anxious and nervous

The room is spinning
You feel dizzy and disoriented

And we all lose our faith now and then
We all experience doubts and uncertain times

We lose our strength, we lose our confidence
We feel weak and unsure of ourselves

But in some small way there's always hopefulness
There is always a glimmer of hope even in the darkest of times

It's easily regained
Hope can be found with little effort

Taken for granted because it seems so obvious
We often overlook hope because it seems too simple

Can't lose the feeling, we can only let it slip
We need to hold onto the feeling of hope but it can slip away easily

Away from us when we are tired from weariness
Hope can slip away when we are exhausted and drained

We won't let it go
We are determined to hold onto hope

We can let it go, we can let it
We have the power to let go of hope if we choose to

Not afraid to fall
You are ready to take risks and face the consequences

Follow the path or find your way on your own
You have the choice to follow the tried-and-true method, or pave your own way

There's always a risk, there's always another road
Every choice comes with risks, and there are always other options to explore

Each of us face uncertainty all alone
We all experience uncertainty in our lives, and it's something we must face alone

A held out hand
Someone is extending help or support

We hold our breath
We are anxious and unsure
