The cynical view that has been taken 
 Is blowing my mind 
 I can't seem to piece it all together 
 I guess it takes time to unwind 
 To let the dust settle 
 And let cooler heads prevail 
 Each and every day I rise 
 From the ashes I've left behind 
 To start anew push through 
 They say it's not meant to be 
 Well I'm parting the sea 

 Got to let go 
 Move on from a tainted past 
 I'll never know 
 Fall out from a tainted past 

 The selfish greedy world we live in 
 Is making me mad 
 It's always give me every marble 
 Then kiss my [bad word] 

 Each and every day I rise 
 From the ashes I've left behind 
 To start anew push through 
 If you go for the green Y 
 ou'll soon see what I mean 

 Got to let go 
 Move on from a tainted past 
 I'll never know 
 Fall out from a tainted past 

 Tainted past 
 Why should anyone finish last 

 Tainted past 
 You needn't be a saint 
 All you need is lots of cash 

 Why did it end this way 
 I'll never understand 
 Why my world is grey 

 When [bad word] heartache 
 With misery 
 Sets up a challenge 
 For destiny 

 Each and every day I rise 
 From the ashes I've left behind 
 To start anew push through T 
 hey say it's not meant to be 
 Well I'm parting the sea 

 Got to let go 
 Move on from a tainted past 
 I'll never know 
 all out from a tainted past
