Learning To Live
There was no time for painNo energy for angerThe sightlessness of hatred slips awayWalking through winter streets aloneHe stops and takes a breathWith confidence and self control
I look at the world and see no understandingI'm waiting to find some sense of strengthI'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding
I need to live lifeLike some people never willSo find me kindnessFind me beautyFind me truthWhen temptation brings me to my kneesAnd I lay here drained of strengthShow me kindnessShow me beautyShow me truth
The ways that your heart sounds makes all the differenceIt's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feelThe way that your heart beats makes all the differenceIn learning to liveHere before me is my soulI'm learning to liveI won't give upTill I've no more to give
Listening to the cityWhispering its violenceI set out watching from aboveThe 90's bring new questionsNew solutions to be foundI fell in love to be let down
Once again we dance in the crowdAt times a step awayFrom a common fear that's all spread outIt won't listen to what you sayOnce you're touched and you stand aloneTo face the bitter fightOnce I reached for loveAnd now I reach for life
Another chance to lift my lifeA freedom sensation in my heartTo ride the wings of dreams into changing horizonsIt brings inner peace within my mind,
As I'm lifted from where I've split my lifeI hear an innocent voiceI hear kindness, beauty and truth
The way your heart sounds makes all the differenceIt's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feelThe way your heart beats makes all the differenceIn learning to liveSpread before you is your soulSo forever hold the dreams within our heartsThrough nature's inflexible graceI'm learning to live
