generational mish mash

Hey you, out there in the cold
this is me

An unfortunate clash of CDs led to the following improvised mashup:

Hey you, out there in the cold
I've always been the kind of girl
Getting lonely, getting old
that hid my face
Can you feel me?
so afraid to tell the world
Hey you, standing in the aisles
what I've got to say
With itchy feet and fading smiles
But I have this dream
Can you feel me?
bright inside of me
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
I'm gonna let it show
Dont give in without a fight.
it's time to let you know

Do you know what it's like
Hey you, out there on your own
to feel so in the dark
Sitting naked by the phone
to dream about a life
Would you touch me?
where you're the shining star
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
even though it seems
Waiting for someone to call out
like it's too far away
Would you touch me?
I have to believe in myself
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
it's the only way
Open your heart, Im coming home.

This is real, this is me
But it was only fantasy.
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
The wall was too high,
gonna let the light shine on me
As you can see.
now I've found who I am
No matter how he tried,
there's no way to hold it in
He could not break free.
no more hiding who I wanna be
And the worms ate into his brain.
this is me

Hey you, standing in the road
you're the voice I hear in side my head
Always doing what you're told,
the reason that I'm singing
Can you help me?
I need to find you
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
I gotta find you
Breaking bottles in the hall,
because you're the missing piece I need
Can you help me?
the song in side of me
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
I need to find you
Together we stand, divided we fall.
I gotta find you

[click of tv being turned on]
you're the missing piece I need
Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started
the song inside of me
Isn't it unsafe to travel at night?
you're the voice I hear in side my head
It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. youre fathers gunna pick up our trail before long
the reason that I'm singing
Can loca ride?
now I've found who I am
Yeah, I can ride... margaret, time to go! margaret, thank you for everything
there's no way to hold it in
Goodbye chenga
no more hiding who I wanna be
Goodbye miss ...
this is me
I'll be back
