I'M Gonna Show You How Great I Am

Shadows seem to surround us
But it's really the light we're more afraid of
Strangers come and I let them know me
But you are still held at arm's length
I've got the reach, I know I do
I'll close the space to just hold you

I'm gonna show you how great I am
A force too fierce to be denied
I'm gonna show you how great I am
Because I know I once moved thunder
And held the lightening in place
just to make your eyes shine

It's not my fear of failure before you
It's my fear of the wonder of just
letting go and letting you in
These pathetic terrors are nothing
but walls I'm gonna climb
'Cuz I'm gonna show you how great I am

I'm gonna show you how great I am
Because I know I once moved thunder
And held the lightening in place
just to make your eyes shine
