Give Me Strength
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sitting in the rain alone
looking at a place that's gone
boarded up my memories
but something's drawn me here again and i
i cannot leave the past alone
-hoped that i would never find
-all the shit i left behind
-now i find the child in me is going to remind me that i
-i can't forget my past for long
so take a look outside yourself
and tell me what you see
i can't believe
that you won't see the change in me
give me strength to find the road that's lost in me
give me time to heal and build myself a dream
give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
give me strength to be only me
i don't want to hear the things
you say you know all you've redeemed
'cause i can't change what's come before
build myself some better dreams
and cast off the fear that holds me here
so take a look outside yourself
and tell me what you see
i can't believe
that you won't see the change in me
give me strength to find the road that's lost in me
give me time to heal and build myself a dream
give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
give me strength to be only me
