Everybody loves a rose,
but will you be thankful for the thorns?
love is easy when you're loved,
but doy ou curse another when you're alone?
Oh, i give my life to you so i can gain it back again
oh, i stand solid while the paradigm is shifting
You say live and let live,
but people are dying everyday
and you say what i don't know won't hurt me
but if what i do not know is the very thing i need,
then i say
Oh, i give my life to you so i can gain it back again
oh, i stand solid while the paradigm is shifting
Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane
that blocks the view, and plants the seed
so we draw the curtains to close but i say
that the sun can still shine behind a closed mind
and sticks and stones do hurt
when tossed from the tongue of mankind
Oh, i give my life to you so i can gain it back again
oh, i stand solid while the paradigm is shifting
is shifting...away...
