More Than What I Am

How many times have I sat here
 Waiting with my pen
 Trying to continue
 And the words that won't come out
 Find their way into my head
 As the visions I see
 When I close my eyes to dream
 I can't fly and I can't begin
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
 How can I rise from this life that I'm in
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
 How many hours have I laid here
 Trying to forget
 The world that still continues
 And each moment that slipped
 From my life into a dream
 Takes me further away
 From the me that I have seen
 I can't fly and I can't begin
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
 How can I rise from this life that I'm in
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
 Give me truth and life with meaning
 Give me true words that I believe, that I believe
 I can't fly and I can't begin
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
 How can I rise from this life that I'm in
 'Cause I can't be more than what I am
