To Be
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.
I never thought I'd rest my life
Like dreams don't dare to pretend
But a single day can change
All the future that you've planned
To go and see what's there for me
To be... or not to be?
You're laying here lonely
And I wish you could speak
But the wires tell your stories
'cause your body is too weak
I take your hand and there's nothing
Is there someone inside?
And if there is, is it still you
In this body that's dying?
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
I'm not sure but I hope that
I can help you if I could
Is it right what I'm thinking?
And is it wrong if I do?
How will I know the answer?
How can I stand the pain?
How will I know the reason
Why you're going away?
There's a way and I'm walking
There's a light in the dark
There's my hope that is leading
Me back to my life if I fight if I fight
Time goes by
But standing still
All my life is passing by
Tears run dry
Words are gone
How can I keep going on - all alone?
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
There's a way and I'm walking
There's a light in the dark
There's my hope that is leading
Me back to my life if I fight if I fight
