The Difference - Missy Higgins

Am I gonna die, am I gonna live, or am I gonna sit on the edge of it

Am I gonna fall, am I gonna fight or am I watch from the outside

Sometimes I wake from the deepest sleep, oh and I feel tomorrow in me

Like I don’t wanna let the hand of yesterday hold me back

But everything I see, everything I watch, makes me wanna hold my ears till it

stops

Makes me wanna run, makes me wanna hide, makes me wanna set this house alight

Oh but I remember my mother’s voice

Telling me that every day’s a choice

For where there’s good, there’s bad

But my child you always can

Be the difference

Be the difference

I know the world’s gone mad it’s true

(she said) be the difference

(you can) be the difference

Cos I see a fighter locked in you

Be the difference

Be the difference

When hope is a hand you don’t wanna trust

(She said) be the difference

(you can) be the difference

Cos darling the future’s watching us

So am I gonna open everything up, am I gonna let fury fill my cup

Am I gonna be an anthem singing in the dark, gonna light up this burning heart

Am I gonna still as rock, while everything shakes and tumbles off

Am I gonna remember the truth

Cos I wanna be nasty, wanna be brave, not let his fear make me afraid

I don’t wanna pretend I’m too small to jump the wall

I’m just trying to remember her voice

Telling me that every day’s a choice

For where there’s good there’s bad

But my child you always can

Be the difference (be the difference)

Be the difference

I know the world’s gone mad it’s true

(she said) be the difference

(you can) be the difference

Cos I see a fighter locked in you

So you gotta fight it

You gotta resist

Every days a choice to light the dark

You gotta sing loud

You gotta shout out

Fear is not a choice but you can choose to be the difference

Be the difference

I know the world’s gone mad it’s true

(she said) be the difference

(you can) be the difference

Cos I see a fighter locked in you

Be the difference

Be the difference

When hope is a hand you don’t wanna trust

(She said) be the difference

(you can) be the difference

Cos darling the future’s watching…
