Joey is a boy, like some, who thinks that risk is fun,
But blinded eyes can never see the price to come, the sacrifice he's paying.
Can't slow down this race he's running,
To stay around he must keep moving,
So controlled by the pace of his surroundings,
He's got no choice of his own.
Hey, hey, hey,
It's time that we face it,
Hey, hey, hey,
We don't have to take it.
Julie is a perfect child, to all there is no doubt,
But few can clearly see, from inside looking out, the fear she's really feeling.
How do I look'
Am I ok'
Do I fit in'
What are they saying'
So concerned over how the others see her, she's lost all sight of herself.
Hey, hey, hey,
It's time that we face it,
Hey, hey, hey,
We don't have to take it.
Your worth does not depend on man; it's more than he could understand,
Don't set your price through other's eyes, there's so much more.
Hey, hey, hey,
It's time that we face it,
Hey, hey, hey,
We don't have to take it, no.
C'mon,
We don't have to take, no, no.
(Incidentally, I'm not over the hill)
