[Verse 1]
It's funny how you may never know the true effect
You may have on somebody else watchin' your life
In your eyes they may see dreams and
Hopes and aspirations that might help them once
Who carried on fighting their fight
In the night they lay and think about
Maybe one day making it out
'Cause you're there, they have you to follow through

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna step outside of myself
Sometimes (Sometimes) I just wanna go away from myself

[Verse 2]
When you know, you know at times it's hard
But you try and try your best to get by
And no one can understand you're struggle at heart
And you wait so desperately
Knowing that you sent a prayer up above
And you know your faith can carry you anywhere, baby
And you know at night, they think about
Maybe one day making it out
'Cause you're there, they have you to see 'em through

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish that I could step outside of myself
Sometimes (Sometimes) I wish that I could go away from myself
[Bridge]
As long as you hold on
As long as you hold on to your dreams
They can come true (Trust me, I know)
And no matter what, you can depend on me
I'll be right here until the death of me
No one could ever take me away
Trust and believe, ooh
I wanna feel what you're feeling
And that's why...

[Chorus]
Sometimes I just wanna step outside of myself
Sometimes (Sometimes) I just wanna go away from myself
Ooh, sometimes
Sometimes
