For so many years
 I've tried [bad word] what I once started
 But something was always there holding me back from it
 Kept me from making it happen
 It so unreal
 The clock is ticking, the time is passing me by
 Passing me by

 Everywhere, all that is near
 Now it's time to show them all
 What I have, who I am, what I seek
 Answer me it's all that I'm asking
 Taking back what I've been missing
 Looking back, making me stronger
 My despair plagues me no longer
 My despair

 So it seems that I've found my escape out from your prison
 I am once again myself, stronger than ever
 Feeling so free, feeling secure
 Nothing can get me now, nothing at all
 Feeling alive, it took me longer than I ever expected

 Everywhere, all that is near
 Now it's time to show them all
 What I have, who I am, what I seek
 Answer me it's all that I'm asking
 Taking back what I've been missing
 Looking back, making me stronger
 My despair plagues me no longer

 Everywhere, all that is near
 Now it's time to show them all
 What I have, who I am, what I seek
 Answer me it's all that I'm asking
 Taking back what I've been missing
 Looking back, making me stronger
 My despair plagues me no longer
 My despair, my despair
