Always Had the Power

Always Had the Power

Set aside who you think you are.
There’s much more to it now, by far.
Don’t matter who you want to be.
Through other eyes you will see.

(refrain)
Have I always had the power?
You’ve always had the power!
– it’s been there all along.
Have I always had the power?
You’ve always had the power!
it’s there to make you strong.
Have I always had the power?
You’ve always had the power!
– to make a right from wrong.
Have I always had the power?
You’ve always had the power!
– inside you all along.

Time to make the light ignite.
Flee the darkness, you’ll be alright.
Pull yourself up from puttin’ ya down.
Be runnin’ when you hit the ground.

(refrain)

(mid8)
Don’t matter what Daddy told you
or the stuff Mom should have said.
It’s time you gained some value,
pull the needle from the thread.
Don’t matter you came from ‘nothin’
or had a silver spoon instead.
You can change. Rearrange. What remains
is what goes inside your head.
If you’re stuck, it’s time to leave
no matter what you might believe.
A spark inside will know the truth.
You can escape from your abuse.

(refrain)
