Song Lyrics

I will accept this
These different ways
This change that’s taking place
And the knowledge that I know now

And I am a part of this
And I will do all that I can
The free gift that is given to me
For I am strong and I will stand

And I, I must deny myself

So why am I left here
When my questions run so deep
To separate myself
How can we rest as we watch it fall

Continuing to drown
The time is less
Reaching through the darkness
And there is nothing left

It is not to be forgotten
Or to be left behind
My soul’s driving me to what’s found
And I’m not blind

The direction coming from within
No one’s to blame
My soul’s not empty
Ignited with flame

I just won’t take it standing still
Given a second chance
It’s not empty
My flesh I kill

My flesh I kill

Continuing to drown
The time is less
Reaching through the darkness
And there is nothing left

It is not to be forgotten
Or to be left behind
My soul is driving me to what’s found
And I’m not blind

I see the direction coming from within
No one to blame
My soul’s not empty
Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited
Ignited, ignited, ignited, ignited with blame
