[Verse 1]
Say you spent your days far away from things you love
Eyes are looking glazed, it's an endless cycle of
"You're not good enough, you were never on the level
Misshapen to the core, far too jagged of a bevel."

An atmosphere of hapless fear,
This atlas sphere that traps you here-
They don't hear that constant jeer
when they tell you to persevere.

"It gets better," they all say,
"So, hunker down keep your chin up, hey?
Bow your head, and learn to pray-"
And they shake their heads when you walk away.


[Chorus]
Maybe now you know how to prove it,
Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down
To the ground.

It's a fact, anywhere you are
For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around.
All around.


[Verse 2]
Now you're peering at the ceiling, the ceiling appearing fine
Starts with peeling and revealing the reeling you feel inside.
You're hearing that old demon and dealing is stealing time,
But seeing as you're healing the feeling is realized that

You were never alone in your loneliness.
Can't atone, and your tone is a ghost of its
Past glory but the story isn't over.
Think again in the morning when you're sober.

A depressing scene, and they're questioning.
But your pressing need, it's a jest, perceived.
Be the best you be, and you best believe,
In this lesson, see: it's never just a dream.


[Chorus]
Maybe now you know how to prove it,
Don't look back or you'll find you're rooted down
To the ground.

It's a fact, anywhere you are
For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around.
All around.

So today is the day you're leaving;
Chase the rain, all the pain will even out...
Somehow.

It's a fact, anywhere you are
For heaven's sake, you're the brightest star around.
All around.

[Outro]
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Don't give it up, no not one bit.
You're much more, and that's just it.
Hum a tune, help your mind forget,
'Cause music heals like a tourniquet.

Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Got so much in your life to prove,
People there don't believe in you.
Know we all feel the same way too.
Wish we could leave, but we just make do.

Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Don't give it up, no not one bit.
You're much more, and that's just it.
Hum a tune, help your mind forget,
'Cause music heals like a tourniquet.

Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Maybe now you'll know how to prove it.
Got so much in your life to prove,
People there don't believe in you.
Know we all feel the same way too.
Wish we could leave, but we just make do.
