Respected

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me,

Here in the shade, oh the bright lights, they blind me

Yesterday is gone, time for moving on,

Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart,

It's another day, I've got to find a better way,

Won't you help me?

Failing that,

If you have to go,

It's all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world,

But from the inside,

I just wanna live my life,

And make this place, make this time,

For all our lives to be,

Respected

Here in the cold, light of day, this vision,

Paints a different world, a world of the heart,

And I'd like to live there

I've been on the run, from all the people I've become,

I want to shed this skin, and start it all again,

I want to draw a line, in the sand for one last time,

Will you help me?

Failing that,

If you have to go,

It's all up to me I know

I just wanna change my world,

But from the inside,

I just wanna live my life,

With some hope, and to do what's right,

I just wanna change this world,

And make this place, make this time,

For all our lives to be,

Respected
