I was outnumbered. I was outgunned.
But surrender simply wasn’t an option
With my chin up, in position,
I was ready for a suicide mission
Then she finds me
And she guides me
Whispers don’t worry
This is all for something
My father held me as a boy, told me suffering would carve a place for joy.
Love the truth, find your voice, and use it when the bully’s taking other kids toys
But I’ve been worn down. My body aches, and everyday I think I’m just a bit more afraid
And I’ve cried, even though I said I never would
Then she finds me
And she guides me
Whispers don’t worry
This is all for something
Almost time now, breath running out
I become so cold
Then she finds me
She guides me
Whispers don’t worry
This is all for something
