SITTING IN THIS DARKNESS, I THINK ABOUT MY WASTED LIFE. EVERY TIME I'VE FAILED YOU, I SIT AROUND AND CRY. HOW COULD I LET YOU DOWN, HOW COULD I DO THOSE THINGS? WOULD IT MATTER WHAT I SAID, WOULD YOU EVEN FORGIVE ME?
Chorus
AS I LAY IN MY COLD, DAMP TEARS. AND NOW I TRY TO FIGHT AWAY ALL THE YEARS. AND NOW I KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO INSIDE. PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH TO LAY MY LIFE ASIDE.
Verse 2
SHAMED BY WHAT I'VE DONE, I WONDER WHAT THEY'LL THINK OF ME? I'M SCARED AND ALONE, MY VERY PRIDE IS WEAKENING. HOW COULD I LET YOU DOWN, HOW COULD I DO THOSE THINGS? WOULD IT MATTER WHAT I SAID, WOULD YOU EVEN FORGIVE ME?
Chorus 2
AND NOW I SEE YOUR LOVE SURROUNDING ME. AND NOW I FEEL YOUR PEACE SO SERENE. NOW I KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO INSIDE. PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH TO KEEP THIS FLAME ALIVE.
