I’ve seen what life can be about

And haven’t liked what I have seen

So I retreat into the life I live on my own.

In the bubble that’s my mind

No one can hurt, erase my pride

Existing in the cloud that’s life alone.



I know that there’s another side to me

Just waiting for the right time

To let myself be free

Need courage to escape the pain

To lift myself above the rain

To allow no-one to hurt me this way again



You’ll never know just how I feel

The numbness that’s so very real

Living with each and every hidden scar

Feels like it was just yesterday

Won’t go away. Seems here to stay.

Wonder if my dreams will ever play their part.



I know that there’s another side to me

Just waiting for the right time

To let myself be free

Need courage to escape the pain

To lift myself above the rain

To allow no-one to hurt me this way again



So I will choose to step outside me

Build up courage and test my theory

Time to give my life a brand new start

Dare to imagine how it could feel

To feel the freedom of being pain free

To follow every dream inside my heart.



Yes, I know that I’ll be scared

To start with I’ll need those who care

And want me to succeed my every step

But I can find the power within

To not allow the hurt to win

To rise above the life that I now live.



Because I know that there’s another side to me

I’ve waited for the right time

To let myself be free

I now have the courage to escape the pain

To lift myself above the rain

No-one will ever hurt me this way again
