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 shit 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,
And give me time to heal and build myself a dream,
And 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,
And give me time to heal and build myself a dream,
And give me eyes to see the world surrounding me,
And give me strength to be only me.
