Everybody loves a rose,  Will you be thankful for the thorns?  Love is easy when you're loved,  Do you curse another when you're alone?    Chorus:  Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again  Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting    You say live and let live,  But people are dying everyday  And you say what I don't know won't hurt me  But if what I do not know  Is the very thing I need,  Then I say    Chorus:  Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again  Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting    Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane  That blocks the view,  And plants the seed  So we draw the curtains to close but I say  That the sun can still shine behind a closed mind  And sticks and stones do hurt  When tossed from the tongue of mankind    Chorus:   Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again  Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm keeps shifting.
