I have battled my whole life for this moment Now I'm at my darkest, I cry out for the light My mind is a battle ground. I have the scars to show, scars to show. I need time to heal Not knowing If the wounds will ever seal. Iv built these walls, you wont ever see them fall. Show me the light, so one day I will rise and fight. I'm headed into the cross fire. Prey for me This war within Is a war I fear ill never win My Narrow sight Leaves me no will to fight long dark nights Makes it hard to see the light Ill walk away In hope to see another day Wounds will heal, the pain will subside. And the scars will go away that you tried so hard to hide. But the memories will never fade and proof will always show. The lines upon my face tell you all you need to know. I'm headed into the cross fire. Every thought is a battle, every breath is a war. I don't think I'm winning any more. Prey for me This war within Is a war I fear ill never win My Narrow sight Leaves me no will to fight long dark nights Makes it hard to see the light Ill walk away In hope to see another day This war I fear ill never win I abhor sinking from within May the bridges I burn light the way! Light the way. May the bridges I burn light the way! Light the way. I wont back down, I must find peace I wont drown, this pain will cease I wont back down, I must find peace I wont drown, this pain will cease I hope one day I will find a way, to heal myself (heal myself) I will refrain From holding the pain, to win this war (win this war)

Every stride. Takes my story far and wide I take pride. Knowing every step you are by my side. Pages forever turn Each word building the lessons I learn Come with me my friend I don't know where my story will end. But i know, no where in my text will it ever say I gave up. I'm so much stronger than you know light in my heart starts to glow My heart starts to race Ever step I take towards my goal Once i looked upon your face I knew one day I would be whole My heart starts to race Ever step I take towards my goal Grab each moment each opportunity. Live the life you want. We have one chance to define our selves. One moment to create a legacy. I will not accept the limitations forced upon me. I just want to make you proud I will not accept the limitations forced upon me. I will not accept the limitations forced upon me. My heart starts to race Ever step I take towards my goal Once i looked upon your face I knew one day I would be whole My heart starts to race Ever step I take towards my goal Boundless Together we are boundless

I'm not giving up, we're not giving in I will fall apart when time stands still Follow your heart to keep this living We are the winds of change I know this is what ill die for I know this is how ill die Try to take this away I'm here to stay Ill change the way you see me Ill change what you see in me I hate to love this suffering In the face of failure I stand strong and flow like the rivers I am at one with life as I'm still alive Stand as one and we'll never faulted Iv worn my hands to the bone Iv worn my hands to the bone Have we found what we've been searching for? Have we found what we've been searching for? This journey has been so long. The weak fall, The strong will remain Follow your heart to keep it living. I stand strong and flow like the rivers I am at one with life as I'm still alive Stand as one and we'll never faulted Never faulted I am relentless I have found the strength Found the strength to continue, to carry on I have found the strength Found the strength to continue, to carry on

I prey for light at the end of the tunnel Hiding my fears, that i may never cope. The darkness inside causes me to stumble Hold on to light, hold on to hope. There's a darkness that blinds And the light that binds In the darkest nights, even the dimmest lights still shine bright. The waters will rise you'll struggle to swim. Hold your head high and drink the air in. Rough seas will pass, and black skies will clear Hold your head high, your time is near. There's so much more to the life we lead, Strive for the best and you will be freed This hope i have is the anchor of my soul, hope both sure and steadfast. This hope i have is the anchor of my soul, hope both sure and steadfast. The waters will rise you'll struggle to swim. Hold your head high and drink the air in. Rough seas will pass, and black skies will clear Hold your head high, your time is near The waters will rise you'll struggle to swim. Hold your head high and drink the air in. Rough seas will pass, and black skies will clear Hold your head high, your time is near Never give up Never give in Draw from the strength you house within Draw from the strength you house within Never give up Never give in I see the mountains Iv seen the sea A warmth now glows inside of me Not everything in this life is bought Strength grows from lessons we get taught. I see the mountains Iv seen the sea A warmth now glows inside of me Not everything in this life is bought Strength grows from lessons we get taught.

Set sail to sea White horses set you free Your loved ones will know Let their voices guide you home ill find the oceans heart When your lost or in the dark we should never be alone I will always guide you home In our time of need We all need to share the grief No matter how much we Bleed living our dreams will bring Relief Ill call for you tonight, To show me the path of light There lit a beacon in the night Ill call for you tonight, To show me the path of light There lit a beacon in the night Let our hearts rest Your loved ones will let you know (let you know) Let my voice guide you home (guide you home) Just know you touched have my soul don't be afraid we will be whole So whenever Your lost I will always, Guide you home on the edge I spoke to the sky Like space will i always be empty Breathe the life you were given Embrace the dreams you wish to live in Embrace the dreams you wish to live in Tonight we light the flame So you feel less pain A beacon In the night Showing you the path of light I can hear you call I can hear you call Call for me tonight Your loved ones will let you know (let you know) Let my voice guide you home (guide you home) Just know you touched have my soul don't be afraid we will be whole So whenever Your lost I will always, Guide you home Say goodbye to the past. You must Take up the torch Say goodbye to the past. You must Take up the torch Say goodbye to the past You must take up the torch
