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 Ill make it through but its hard to be real
But you show through suffering your true colors
Youre always standing tall and though I try to be
Im feeling weak because I stray from the tree
But whats it doing here
Then I fall back into line
Where they hurt me
I do my time over again but you cant
Where do you find the power
And I say
I know Ill make it through but its 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 its hard to be real
But your show your true colors anyway
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 Ill make it through but its hard to be real
But you show through suffering your true colors
Youre always standing tall and though I try to be
Im feeling weak because I stray from the tree
But whats it doing here
Then I fall back into line
Where they hurt me
I do my time over again but you cant
Where do you find the power
And I say
I know Ill make it through but its 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 its hard to be real
But your show your true colors anyway
