All the time I give away my self protecting life

As I continue on with all the things that you despise

You can live life bitter and angered

I hold myself to a higher standard

You don't know my mind

You don't lack the pride

you don't need to be assured that you're doing something with your life

With your life

Now the skies have opened

Show me a reason to live

I'll break my own back

Till there's nothing left to give

As the storm grows stronger

The nights grow cold

Be the wind in my sails

Be the light in my soul

Now my soul is weeping searching for release

I need you right beside me

Hand in Hand with my beliefs

I will become one with

All of me

Set my new sights

Never be down

I won't stop now

See as I rise, you watch

You wanted, you wanted more

You want to control the rest of my life

Telling myself that its I

That never gives in

Now the skies have opened

Show me a reason to live

I'll break my own back

Till there's nothing left to give

As the storm grows stronger

(It grows stronger)

The nights grow cold

Be the wind in my sails

Be the light in my soul

All of these things that I do to keep me breathing

Falls on deaf ears, move towards a new beginning

So stuck, in the depths of despair

Never tire of being here

I'll never lose

Failure has not and will never been an option

Will I live up to my satisfaction

I come alive

I will survive

be true to yourself

never stop, never give in

I wont ever trust you again

I'll keep my self respect

knowing that will ease my pain

Now the skies have opened

Show me a reason to live

I'll break my own back

Till there's nothing left to give

As the storm grows stronger

(It grows stronger )

The nights grow cold

Be the wind in my sails

(In my sails)

Be the light in my soul

In my soul

You want to control the rest of my life

Telling myself that its I

That never gives in
