All these moments of pain Must add up to something Our bodies have been trained to keep it all in But our hearts still hold on
Some say to release it, forget about your past Instead we count the cost, it's part of us That doesn't mean that we cannot move on It's just a memory of what we once were
No matter what it is we've faced It's now part of us (part of us) We can overcome
Why rid of fuel that can make us stronger When properly put behind us? (put behind us) And in the same way that Everything good in life can be taken away So can all this pain
No matter what it is we've faced It's now part of us (part of us) No matter what we've faced in this life We can overcome
Trying to forget is a burden we can never bear When facing trials openly There's nothing left to hide New paths of strength come alive
We can overcome
No matter what it is we've faced It's now part of us (part of us) No matter what we've faced in this life We can overcome
07. No Lungs to Breathe I fought who I am inside Until I wanted, I wanted to die Instead of finding balance I found hatred Consumed by failures and ignoring my own strengths Pushed out to sea without learning to swim Or stranded in the desert with no lungs to breathe
With no lungs to breathe I had almost lost everything
How can I be expected to readily be content With a view of life that has rejected The basis of what has helped me to survive? And replaced them with precepts Rather than instruction Full rule is an illusion (illusion) All I can do is contain selfishness And unveil what little power we may have
With no lungs to breathe I had almost lost everything (everything)
Tearing away my flesh before taking The time to understand it A miracle may not be the answer (tearing away my flesh) When anchoring first on what I have (before taking the time to understand it) The ability to change
Like being stranded in the desert With no lungs to breathe
With no lungs to breathe I had almost lost everything (everthing)
