Dead Poets' Society

I can feel their eyes

And I know they're watching me

They're timing every breath

And judging me before I speak

The life of you has been burned inside me

I carry this torch through the darkness where once I couldn't see

(Where once I couldn't see)

I know I wasn't meant to cry for you

I know I had to keep my head high for you

I live every day with passion

Making each day better than the last one

And our time is too short to hold onto them

From where we want to be

From what we need to be

I just want to keep the promise that I made to you

And shine with the light you always knew

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?

All I need is to keep you in my memory

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?

I could've easily given up

I could've simply just called it quits

While on top of my shoulders

Responsibility sat

But this is not how it ends

My will will break or bend

And I will show them how this is all meant to be

I just want to keep the promise that I made to you

And shine with the light you always knew

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?

All I need is to keep you in my memory

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?

I can feel their eyes

And I know they're watching me

They're timing every breath

And judging me before I speak

The life of you has been burned inside of me

I'll carry this torch through the darkness

where once I couldn't see

I just want to keep the promise that I made to you

And shine with the light you always knew

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?

All I need is to keep you in my memory

I had inside of me

Oh, won't you set it free?
