Long ago, years before I can remember/I was abducted by existence itself/I was chosen, I had no say in the matter/Holding on is so much harder when you believe that you were made to fuel the fire/The fire of self burns what it will and takes with it your own damned soul/Tell me, have you heard the words?/Have you seen the light? Have you felt the shame?/’Cause redemption comes to the ugliest place/Where the heart is raw and the taste is pain/Nothing I could say to you would make you believe that this is where beauty lies/Taking time will make you wonder/Moving forward will keep your head from going under/As if your best was ever gonna be enough/Still the idea sits somewhere deep inside of each of us/Tell me, have you heard the words?/Have you seen the light? Have you felt the shame?/’Cause redemption comes to the ugliest place/Where the heart is raw and the taste is pain/Nothing I could say to you would make you believe that this is where beauty lies/Hide it where you can and as you do you’ll begin to understand your place; where you belong/Just enough to know that this was wrong/Stricken against the side of it/There was something in what he said that brought you in/That brought you in/Oh these stars are not quite what they seem/Just like your dreams are so far from what you’d like them to be/But what do I know anyway? I’ve never felt it like this/Just remember, these stars are so much more than what you thought could exist/Hide it where you can and as you do you’ll begin to understand your place; where you belong/Just enough to know that this was wrong/Stricken against the side of it/There was something in what he said that brought me in/That brought me in/Here you are, it’s time to go/As we wait, you don’t want me to know/But I already do, I see it in you/Here you are, it’s time to go/As we wait, you don’t want me to know/But I already do, I see it in you/I already do, I see it in you, I already do, I see it in you credits
