lyrics

Now pray for my soul
There’s a bunch of teenagers
In the hallway outside waiting for me
Now I’m on my own
There’s no one there to help me
The only person I can count on is me

Now they’re coming in
I don’t know any of their names
I don’t know what they are going to be
Do you think they can feel
How fast my heart is beating
How thirsty I am, on the point of breaking down

I am the one, the one in charge
And I don’t know, exactly
What I’m doing
They have to follow, to follow me down
To the place I’m guiding them to
Eventhough I don’t know what’ I’m doing

Now I’m a few months old
And I’m facing down a wall
I feel that I shall not overcome
I feel like giving up
But what else would I do
To hell I have to go through

I am the one, the one in charge
And I feel that
What this challenge may be too hard for me
Too much responsibility
Too much pressure
Can I be the one they need me to be

A new school year
Is coming by
Will I be better
Or will I still suck
As new students
Come into my class
now I can feel
I belong with them

I am the one, the one in charge
And now I know exactly
What I’m doing
They have to follow, to follow me down
To the place I’m guiding them to
And this time they can count on me
Whoho, Whaho
