The Light

These things that I treasured yesterday
Have all gone by the wayside
But life's just a dream away
Don't know what tomorrow brings for me
But I'll never stop reaching
I'll keep the faith and I will pray

I've fought through rejection
And I'm still here today

It's time that I showed the world what's happening
It's time that I showed the world
The light that shines
The light that shines on me
It's time that I showed the world my passion
It's time that I showed the world
The light that shines
The light that shines on me
The light that shines on me

This path that I walk down's paved with gold
And I got to find some
Won't be a pawn in life's rich game
The devil take me if I give in
At the cross roads where my sins
Have been washed out by the rain

I've seen my redemption
And I'm still here today

I've seen my reflection
This old face looks the same
I know I can make it one fine day

Long Way Down

What's going on inside my head
I feel racked up, waisted, dead
I don't fit in the old tired skin of mine
I've worked hard all my life
But success was hard to find
I still feel young but I'm too old to fight

So come and help me
Help me get something started
'Cos I feel broken

It's a long way down from 10 floors up
And the way down ain't the way you come up
And you feel like life has just got too damn much
It's a long way down from 10 floors up
When you've given your life then given up
Gonna drown
It's a long way down
It's a long long long way down

What's going on inside my heart
I need a crank to make it start
It's a cold and lonely, ugly state to be
I've always tried to find some love
But in this world there's not enough
I've paid my dues and still found nothings free

So come and help me
Help me get something started
Cos I feel broken hearted
