Lyrics
Verse
Do you watch life pass in constant grief?
Does your heavy heart find no relief?
Do you fear the weight new chapters bring?
Are you afraid you’ll fail at everything?
Before your eyes lies all you lack,
still never drawing near,
Your heart breaks open silently,
laid bare in every tear ...
Pre-Chorus
It’s clear to me!
That’s what I see!
Chorus
Never give up,
don’t lower your gaze,
hold your head high through shadows and haze.
Above you burns a steadfast light,
it shines for you, still clear and bright.
Believe ... you have the strength;
keep going, come what may.
You are enough ... fight for yourself,
live to see another day.
Break
Verse
Do you laugh with friends, yet feel apart?
Do you think that no one knows your heart?
Are you drifting through the sea of souls alone?
Forever lost, with nowhere left to call your home?
These walls that close around you now,
your own two hands have made;
To shield the frailest part within,
your freedom was the price you paid.
Bridge
Defy the fear that bars your path and casts your world in endless night.
Cut through the dark surrounding you that twists your weary sight ...
Pre-Chorus
Is it clear to you?
Can you see it too?
Chorus
Never give up,
don’t lower your gaze,
hold your head high through shadows and haze.
Above you burns a steadfast light,
it shines for you, still clear and bright.
Believe ... you have the strength;
hold your ground, don’t fade away.
You are enough ... face the dark,
and choose to stay ...
please, choose to stay.
Interlude
Build Up
Tear down the walls,
break the chains that held you fast.
Stoke the embers in your soul
and make them blaze at last.
Look back and see how far you’ve come ...
through every wound and every scar.
The traces left behind are yours ...
draw strength from knowing who you are.
Powerful
It’s in your hands ...
your story’s not been written yet.
Take the pen and write it now ...
spread your wings without regret ...
Pre-Chorus
It will be clear to you!
You will see it too!
Grand-Finale
Never give up,
don’t lower your gaze,
hold your head high through shadows and haze.
Above you burns a steadfast light,
it shines for you, still clear and bright.
Believe ... you have the strength;
lift your heart and carry on.
You are enough ... outlast the night,
reach for the coming dawn.
Outro
There's hope in every stride,
Move on again ... with faith inside.
