Verse 1:
The light is growing dim at last
These wounds aren't healing from the past
It's hard to find the time
To face a foe so fast
When darkness falls and hard times win
I know I can't give up, give in
My life is mine and you
Can't take it again
Pre-Chorus:
Just hear me out so I can
Chorus:
Tell you
I have a reason to defend myself
From you
There's not a thing that you can say to make me
Need you
'Cause there's a God who knows me better
When my time's up
I'll show you that I had a better plan
When I wake up
I'll seek out life and take it by the hand
And lift up
The burdens holding me down
And I'll stand
Verse 2:
Your lies may hurt your taunts may fly
And death may take me by surprise
But there's no way to make
Me fear your cry
These selfish thoughts they come from you
These bitter ways and heartless rues
I'd hoped you'd take them all away
But you wouldn't move
Pre-Chorus
Chorus 3x
