I wasn't myself for so many years it seemed
Cold and confused my mind lost in the shadows
When I awoke I could see so much clearer

Held high it seems I won't be there to hear her

And I won't be by your side

No way of knowing
And I won't be by your side
Well I'll take my chances


In this place I was left for dead
Held down and mocked by all eyes watching

Now free well I'll be standing much taller
What won't kill me makes me stronger


And I won't be by your side
No way of knowing
And I won't be your side

Well I'll take my chances
And I won't be by your side
I'm free from you chains

And I won't be by your side
There's no time to cry
