Over the Rhine - Give Me Strength lyrics

Sitting in the rain alone Looking at a place that's gone Boarded up my memories But something's drawn me here again and I I cannot leave the past alone Hoped that I would never find All the sh** I left behind Now I find the child in me Is going to remind me that I I can't forget my past for long So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me I don't want to hear the things You say you know all you've redeemed 'Cause I can't change what's come before Build myself some better dreams And cast off the fear that holds me here So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see 'Cause I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me
