When their belligerence gets
To be too much
And I can't stand the thought
Of another touch
I transcend
When their endless demands
Invade my space
And endless faces
Keep taking their place
I transcend

Now I can bend
But not that much
Rely on the end
Of a broken crutch

When the chill runs so deep
It penetrates my coat
I lie on the floor
With my heart in my throat
I transcend
When I can't seem to sleep
Still the day doesn't come
And the phone never rings
And I wait for the one
I transcend
