So I step off like a wounded child before you
I never knew what it took to be real
Until I looked in your eyes, Shattering myths about the lie
Then I crawl inside
Show me the light and take away how it feels when they crucify me
And I say
I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real
But you show through suffering your true colors
You’re always standing tall and though I try to be
I’m feeling weak because I stray from the tree
But what’s it doing here
Then I fall back into line
Where they hurt me
I do my time over again but you can’t
Where do you find the power
And I say
I know I’ll make it through but it’s hard to be real
But you show through suffering your true colors anyway
Take me alive oh they take me alive
And they suck it out
And I say
I know it’s hard to be real
But your show your true colors anyway
