Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears And so you fight to keep from pouring out But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul Do you think there's enough that you would drown? If no one will listen If you decide to speak If no one's left standing after the bombs explode If no one wants to look at you For what you really are I will be here still I will be here still No one can take you where you alone must go There's no telling what you will find there And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones It's screaming every step, If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down If your legs have given out under the weight If you find you've been settling for a world of gray So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
