In a past where I spoke of nothing but ideals,
Walls stood in my way at every turn,
So I lived on, fumbling along!
The red sky stretches out my shadow;
It’s still so unreliable and selfish –
I can’t help but sigh.
Even if our strides are different and our breaths out of sync,
You always force your way straight through,
To be by my side.
When I stopped to look at what I’d missed, I was simply left behind!
“Do you have your eyes on tomorrow?”
I heard your voice, dispelling the darkness!
Even if I’m weak, I’m gonna take a stand –
You gave me a reason to do so!
I understand now, that’s why I’m going.
It’s still tough, and there’s pain in my chest,
But you gave me strength!
In order to keep this safe, I’m going!
Always losing, with nothing to protect anyway,
I lose my confidence and abandon this game,
Spilling out excuses…
Then out of nowhere a voice pierces my ears –
In a fed up voice, you’re saying,
“Just force your way straight through!”
And when we touch, you come running into my heart with your shoes still on –
“You’ll be the one to decide what happens tomorrow!”
Your voice, dispelling the darkness, was “crying”.
I’ll simply wipe those tears away –
I’ve made up my own reason!
I understand now, that’s why I’m going.
I still get scared sometimes and trip up;
I’m actually shaking.
In order to take you back, I’m gonna fight!
“Stand up and face it”
“I’m not scared”
“You’re here”
“I’m right here”
“Wait for me”
“No problem”
“I won’t lose”
“I believe it”
So step on in and start moving onward –
Laugh until you’re heard!
A screaming voice that just won’t come out,
Is trembling within my chest.
I get it now, that’s why I’m gonna fight.
I’m not alone now – my chest feels so hot;
You gave me this strength!
In order to keep this safe, I’m gonna fight!
I’m smiling with you here again.
In a past where I spoke of nothing but ideals,
Walls stood in my way at every turn,
So I lived on, fumbling along!
The red sky stretches out my shadow;
It’s still so unreliable and selfish –
I can’t help but sigh.
When I stopped to look at what I’d missed, I was simply left behind!
“Do you have your eyes on tomorrow?”
I heard your voice, dispelling the darkness!
Even if I’m weak, I’m gonna take a stand –

I understand now, that’s why I’m going.
It’s still tough, and there’s pain in my chest,
But you gave me strength!
In order to keep this safe, I’m going!
A screaming voice that just won’t come out,
Is trembling within my chest.
I get it now, that’s why I’m gonna fight.
I’m not alone now – my chest feels so hot;
You gave me this strength!
In order to keep this safe, I’m gonna fight!
