There was no time for pain

No energy for anger

The sightlessness of hatred

slips away

Walking through winter streets

alone

He stops and take a breath

With confidence and self-

control

I look at the world and see no

understanding

I'm waiting to find some sense

of strength

I'm begging you from the

bottom of my heart to show

me understanding

I need to live life

Like some people never will

So find me kindness

Find me beauty

Find me truth

When temptation brings me to

my knees

And I lay here drained of

strength

Show me kindness

Show me beauty

Show me truth

The way your heart sounds

makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure

the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats

makes all the difference

In learning to live

Here before me is my soul

I'm learning to live

I won't give up

Till I've no more to give

No more to give

The way your heart sounds

makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure

the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats

makes all the difference

In learning to live

Spread before you is your soul

So forever hold the dreams

within our hearts

Through nature's inflexible

grace

I'm learning to live
