I wish I could be the one to say this life's easy

I've heard it said before

We're faced with unending new theories

of how to survive, but what is survival for



It's hard to hold on to standing your ground

Sometimes you're the only one

Yet when I'm not feeling strong

I know I can keep on



I want to be a shining light,

giving hope to those who feel hopeless,

consuming the dark of the night

I want to be a burning light,

giving charge to those who are weary

and keeping the fire alive



If I could change anything

I've done or said, we'd be here a long time

But I can change everything

about who I want to be



You'll never see inside of me 

and you'll never know my heart

But I can tell you honestly

I'm trying and that's a start
