It's no secret I've been down and out   It's no secret at all   I've been fightin' shadows off my back   To learn how to walk I must crawl   Lies will heal all my wounds   No matter how deep or wrong   It's no secret I've been losing touch   It's no secret, it's no secret at all   And so here you find me   I stand before you and your peers   It's no secret at all   Judge me, but only if you dare   I stand before you   I stand before you without a care   There's no reason that I stand and shout   There's no reason at all   I find myself in a cold, hard, world   I feel that I don't belong   Time will break all the rules   No matter how true or how strong   There's no reason that I cry out loud   There's no reason, there's no reason at all   And so you find me here   I stand before you and your peers   Judge me, but only if you dare   I stand before you   I stand before you without a care   And so you find me, stand here beside me   Don't dare deny me, I'm not the mighty   Its no secret, it's no secret at all   I've been fighting, I've been learning to crawl   Lies, will heal all wounds   No matter how deep or wrong   It's no secret I've been losing touch   Its no secret, it's no secret at all   It's no secret at all   And so you find me here   I stand before you and your peers   Judge me, but only if you dare   I ask no mercy not a tear   And so you'll find me without a care   There is no darkness that I fear   I stand before you   I stand before you
