Sense Your Own Strength
There Is No Authority But Yourself
You Alone Can Do It

I've seen so many dreams washed away in tears Now, dry eyed, do i see any clearer ?
A man sat beneath a mighty oak tree reflecting upon his doubts In spring the tree budded, the man reflected upon his confusions In summer the tree gave shade to the man, he reflected upon his agonies In autumn the man was showered with leaves
I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
I shall see through this illusion
I was driven to the wall of lies hoping to find solace There is no real love in this paradise of the senses All is thrown away by the wall of lies
I shall see you through this illusion
If this morning is such a sad song, sing on Such an old song, don't mind, sing on
Keep on, don't mind, sing on If you open your heart just a little you can whisper New song
Whilst walking i have often passed you, now our walking is our oneness You are not alone, lost in your own dreams and desires Alone we are together, together we are as one
Walk in silence, don't walk away in silence See the danger, always danger Life rebuilding, don't walk away
Who's gonna tell you when it's too late ? Who's gonna tell you when things aren't so great ? Who's gonna hold you down when you shake ? Who's gonna come around when you break ?
Who's gonna drive you home tonight ? Who's gonna pick you up when you fall ? Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams ? You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong
What holds your hope together ?, make sure it's strong enough When you reach the end of your tether it's because it wasn't strong enough When you're on the bottom you crawl back to the top Something pulls you up and a voice says you can't stop It won't let you stop
I was going to drown then i started swimming I was going down then i started winning
Every day you must say to yourself, how do i feel about my life ? Anything is hard to find if you will not open your eyes Sitting there in your room Oh !, how you'd like to get carried away But dreams have a knack of just not coming true Sitting in your room, drawing up your plans Time is running out For heavens sake when will you accept yourself ?
There's something inside so strong, i know that i can make it Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong You thought that my pride had gone, oh no !, there's something inside so strong
You can deny me, you can turn your face away No matter, 'cos my light will shine so brightly it will blind you
The higher you build your barriers, the taller i become The further you take my rights away, the faster i will run The more you refuse to hear my voice, the louder i will sing You hide behind walls of jericho, your lies will come tumbling
Brothers and sisters when they insist we're not good enough Well we know better, just look them in the eyes and say We're gonna do it anyway
Stand strong, stand proud, chant your feelings loud Stand strong, stand proud, don't accept the crowd Stand strong, stand proud, we'll rise and they shall fall Stand strong, stand proud, one day we'll show them all
In a world that keeps on pushing me around I'll keep this world from dragging me down I know what's right, I've got just one life I'll stand my ground, I won't be turned around
I won't back down
How many sorrows do you try to hide in a world of illusion that covers your mind ? I'll show you something good if you open your mind You'll discover that there's something you long to find When your crumbling world falls apart, if you open your heart You can make a start
Your confusion is the box in which you put answers Your limitations are the walls of the box Destroy the box
A day without substance An atmosphere that rots with time
Confusion in her eyes that says it all And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by She's lost control And she gave away the secrets of her past And of a voice that told her when and where to act And she said, she's lost control
She turned around and took me by the hand She expressed herself in many different ways Until she lost control again
She showed up all the errors and mistakes Walked upon the edge of no escape She screamed out kicking on the floor, i thought she'd died She'd lost control
The pain has got to stop, it's eating into you
Your apathy upholds this misery
Nobody can reach you through your personal hell
You'll just eat yourself away in your tortured shell
Shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to Coyness can stop you from saying all the things in life you'd like to So if there's something you'd like to try Ask me i won't say no, how could i ?
Spending warm summer days indoors Ask me, ask me, ask me Because if it's not love, then it's the bomb that will bring us together
Take a chance Step outside
There's no time to lose Catch your dreams Before they slip away
Something's missing, you've got to look back on your life You know something's just not right There's something that you forgot
What about love ?, don't you want someone to care about you ? What about love ?, don't let it slip away What about love ?, i only want to share it with you
You might need it someday
Is it wrong to want to live on your own ? No it's not wrong, but i must know How can someone so young sing words so sad ?
Don't go home tonight, come out And find the one that you love and who loves you
I know that you've got your reasons
But these things that are pleasing you Can hurt you someday
It seems to me that some fine things have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get
Well you ain't getting no younger And your prison is walking through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime ?, the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Why don't you come down from your fences ? You better let somebody love you Before it's too late
Enjoy yourself It's later than you think
You've gotta find some therapy, treatment takes too long
Gotta find your destiny, before it gets too late
If you come across a sad soul Don't be afraid Take them into your arms Love them better
In my life why do i give valuable time To people who don't care if i live or die ?
There are no lights to guide your path, only your love If you show your love there are no questions You stand apart from your confusions Your achievements and spent realities
I won't back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around I'll keep this world from dragging me down I know what's right, i've got just one life In a world that keeps on pushing me down I won't back down
I just can't live with the myths and the lies Two ways to choose on a razor's edge Had thoughts for one, designs for both
Confusion, illusion, worn like a mask of self-hate Something must break now, this life isn't mine
This is the day your life will surely change This is the day when things fall into place
