these are the pieces
of all that i've lost.
my troubles will never define me [bad word] down.
if i tried to stand up,
would u hold me down?
the choices i've made
were all my own, all my own.

i have fallen into deep
ask to know
before i sleep, before i sleep.
give me peace
i have lost
give me wings
to rise above, to rise above

if i asked forgiveness
would u give me that now?
if i wanted to hold u
would u show me how?
no need for reason
no time for sorrow
each day is a new day
and lasts only until tomorrow

i have fallen into deep
ask to know
before i sleep, before i sleep.
give me peace
i have lost
give me wings
to rise above, to rise above
