Song Description

Sometimes when you follow your heart in order to try to bring more happiness to the people around you, the people who are still living their lives "in the dark" really don't get it. But, I'm finding more and more that I just have to keep doing what I know

Lyrics

Some say live life to the fullest, live like today is your last
Cause time is only slipping further, rushing by it goes so fast
Some say be brave and take some chances, be who you are and say what you feel
Cause if you follow all the others, then to yourself you are not real

But I say it?s so hard even when I?m trying
There are days when I fall down and I simply cry
I put my heart and my soul into living life
I change and grow and just when I think I?ve got it right
I?m misunderstood, I?m misunderstood, ooooh, oooh, ooooh

Some say get up and keep on tryin?, the challenges will make you strong
Lessons learned will take you farther down this twisted road so long
Some say give more and more you?ll get, but you can?t always be sure
A life well lived and risks taken are worth the pain you must endure

But I say it?s so hard even when I?m trying
There are days when I fall down and I simply cry
I put my heart and my soul into living life
I change and grow and just when I think I?ve got it right
I?m misunderstood, I?m misunderstood, ooooh, oooh, ooooh

But I say that I?m just gonna keep on trying
And I?ve got my arms reaching for the sky
When I was born I know that God had a plan
For me to give and love and I don?t think that I could have
Misunderstood, misunderstood
No I don?t think I misunderstood, oooh, ooooh, ooooh.
