There was once a light inside of me But lately I see it's dimmed out slowly And I fight, I kick, I yell I scream That what is happening Well it can't be really And as I go along I'm finding the ground below You can get ripped out From under your feet The light around you Turned out blinding The darkness is a More honest place to be
[Chorus] And I want to find in me That I can still believe And be forgiving Yes I want to be like you Can you teach me how to be forgiving
There was once a friend inside of me But lately I see there is an enemy I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream What is happening But no one hears me And I go along finding The friends I thought I had They weren't good friends at all No I don't really need reminding I'm much too jaded and much to cynical
[Chorus] Yes I want to find in me That I can still believe And be forgiving And I want to be like you Can you teach me how to be forgiving
