Life has changed me, reality, the driving force      To stare it in the eye so deep, impossible for human eyes      The barrier the mind creates, seems unbreakable inside your head   The pain the heart sustains, is there an end? Is there an end?      Is there an end?      Time races faster, I can't catch my breath, so I push aside the negative      To grab a hold of reality, I will never give in   No, I will never give in   Life has changed me   For the real man is alive, I am alive      Free me, I am not to be held down   All this life I have to give, please allow   My God, please help me now, I need a sign   To carry on, I need You, I need You      Now the tide rolls ever gently to the shore   And the moon draws ever closer to my soul   As I stare closely to the sky   Peace finds a home      My heart has grown so strong   For this battle I have won   I will never give in, I will not fail, no   For life is life, and I am here
