I was at my weakest state
And you kept pushing me on
You gave me something to believe in
And it keeps me standing strong
These lessons that I've learned
These things I'll carry on
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Each day, however long

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where [bad word] free
There can't be any [bad word] where there's no honesty

Like an apple from the tree
you were lock jawed in your ways
reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
Thought you'd stayed off my path
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Is the same [bad word] through me

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond
In the rough
I held out for and I received
pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where [bad word] free
There can't be any [bad word] where there's no honesty

I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had it all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on
