Life is a gift like no other
Wrapped in the thorns of evil

You will try
You will bleed
But in the end
You will still smile

There's so much here
And so much there
So much life
Everywhere

But you close yourself off
You forget who you are
Waiting for someone greater
To lift you up
Teach you how to stand

But that someone never comes
And never will
As long as you crawl

What greater miracle is there
Than to see and breathe?
Do you really need permission
Just to believe?

There you go again
Head hanging low
Blindly led
By the blind

There's so much death
So much pain
So pour your love away

You learn so well
How to let your wings decay
They say that those who try to fly
Are bound to fall

They spread their fear
Without reason
Just to keep you
In their hands

What greater miracle is there
Than the freedom to think?
Do you really need approval
Just to take the leap?

Take control of your soul
Pull the reins of your heart
Life is far too short
To live inside illusion

You will fall
And you will cry
But in the end
You will rise

You will learn
Through the pain
How to live
While you remain

You will suffer
And who won't?
But you'll grow
Because of it

You will sail
A sea of trials
To harvest sweet and bitter
From your own decisions

What greater miracle is there
Than choosing how you live?
Do you really need permission
To exist?

And in the end you will die
Because under this Sun
Every song has its end

But you will have lived
With truth
This brief instant
Called eternity
