I wasn't myself for so many years it seemed    Cold and confused my mind lost in the shadows    When I awoke I could see so much clearer    Held high it seems I won't be there to hear her       And I won't be by your side    No way of knowing    And I won't be by your side    Well I'll take my chances       In this place I was left for dead    Held down and mocked by all eyes watching    Now free well I'll be standing much taller    What won't kill me makes me stronger       And I won't be by your side    No way of knowing    And I won't be your side    Well I'll take my chances    And I won't be by your side    I'm free from you chains    And I won't be by your side    There's no time to cry
