Life Within You

Clock hands tick and calendars turn

Weighed down by the weight of the world

Your celebration is overdue

For the simple fact that you're still you

For years now, you’ve been trying to wash

But you just can’t shake that history off

So let’s snuggle up now, all safe and warm

And let’s help forget your heart was torn

We all try to be something, we all try to be great

But we’re all only human and we all make mistakes

‘Cause all that it takes is three simple words

To change someone’s life for better or worse

And even the brightest stars die someday

They flicker and suddenly they fade away

But they die with the knowledge that they did their best

To shine and burn as bright as the rest

‘Cause we’ve learned, we’ve learned way more than we know

From things we’ve been through and the people we’ve known

And we shouldn’t look back on what we didn’t do

But be proud that, instead, we made it through

We all try to be something, we all try to be great

But we’re all only human and we all make mistakes

‘Cause all that it takes is three simple words

To change someone’s life for better or worse

And is that a mistake? Well, I don’t know

I heard once: “that’s how people grow”

Look around, look around, we don’t have a clue

But none of that matters, there’s life within you

And as we try to make sense of what our lives are about

We pray that the stars above don’t flicker out

And keep shining bright for as long as we need

A place to call home, a place to retreat

And if you’re waiting for the day in which you break through

I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s coming soon

With the odds so small and the chances so few

There’s beauty in life and there’s life within you

We all try to be something, we all try to be great

But we’re all only human and we all make mistakes

‘Cause all that it takes is three simple words

To change someone’s life for better or worse

And is that a mistake? Well, I don’t know

I heard once: “that’s how people grow”

Look around, look around, we don’t have a clue

But none of that matters, there’s life within you
