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
