Light rail or light rail transit (LRT) is a form of urban rail public transportation that generally has a lower capacity and lower speed than heavy rail and metro systems, but higher capacity and higher speed than traditional street-running tram systems. The term is typically used to refer to rail systems with rapid transit-style features that usually use electric rail cars operating mostly in private rights-of-way separated from other traffic but sometimes, if necessary, mixed with other traffic in city streets. If this is the case, then under the law of many countries such systems are legally tramways, although the vehicles which run on them are sometimes designated "supertrams". Modern light rail technology is flexible and adaptable, and whether any given system is considered a true rapid transit system or not depends on its characteristics.
I sit back on all the chances I'm given that I don't take
It's in my hands to fulfill the story that I'm supposed to make
Already started writing the script when I sang that first note
And now I find myself on this plane with no idea of where to go
When am I going to find myself or will I need someone's help?
When are things going to finally start going well?
[Chorus:]
I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
The blue skies that were once here in my mind have left me now
And I don't know what there is left to do but cry out loud
I've always been a giver, never complain or take too much
But it seems like all I have to give these days is not enough
If I pray for a little sunshine, will it ever stop the rain?
Maybe if I ask for forgiveness it can take away my pain
I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
I don't want to be left to guess how life could have been
If I would have truly given all that I have to give
I could run around in circles but then again I've done that before
Never again will I be left to pick up those pieces off the floor
I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
I don't want to take the back seat like all the times before
Left to pick up the pieces of when I hit the floor
Putting back together my heart for the whole world to see
I don't think I have another bit of strength left in me
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
When will I get my chance to have a lead role?
And all of the madness surrounding me is taking it's toll
