Envy you

Trying to be you my entire life
You're my stick, a rope, and a sign saying
"Here's a reason to strive"
I bust my ass off when you need not to try
It's all these jealous thoughts that
Put the will in my life

Standing in the shadow of a greater man
Providing me with strength to prove that I can
Saving my life to follow what you've shown
How methodical I am I'm using everything i know

It's all in my mind from the time when I was a kid
You always kept the pace right above my head
You kept my looking up to see there are no walls
To box me in
To make me fall

Standing in the shadow of a greater man
Providing me with strength to take a stand
Saving my life to follow what you've shown
How methodical I am I'm using everything i know

Now that we're both growing old
I can't explain what I owe
To you
My eyes were clouded by jealous thoughts
Because I
Envy you

(Whoa)
You made me
Who i am
(Whoa)
You made me
Who i am
