[Verse One]

Maybe it's time I take my soul by the hand

And show me,

Show me the way.

These shadows so lonely,

Can't spare any light

To see

The path a-winding straight through this place.

The more that I tremble,

The more that I fall.

Broken bodied,

Broken hearted;

Maybe it'd be best,

If I just didn't tremble at all.

...

[Refrain]

From Breaking comes Pain,

From Pain comes Strength;

Though not necessarily in that order.

Life isn't easy.

We all learn that the hard way,

In our own time,

Our own way;

We all will fall.

...

[Verse Two]

Maybe it's time I turn my face towards the light

And do more than just keep

These demons at bay.

I can't keep using the light of world;

There's a match in my hand and I'm gunna use it

To set me ablaze.

Because I can't keep giving

When I'm all but empty;

I just know there's so much more to me,

All hidden away.

Well today is the day;

To start learnin' to give it, to love it, to show it.

...

[Refrain]

From Breaking comes Pain,

From Pain comes Strength;

Though not necessarily in that order.

Life isn't easy.

We all learn that the hard way,

In our own time,

Our own way;

We all will fall.

...

[Verse Three]

Maybe it's time I stop maybe-ing life;

Things may go when they go

But it's my job to find them.

Because I'll know when I know

What's worth chasing after

And what's worth lookin' for in the first place.

I may not succeed,

But it's always worth tryin'

And I'll never stop tryin'.

And who knows, maybe someday I'll learn to fly.

...

[Refrain]

From Breaking comes Pain,

From Pain comes Strength;

Though not necessarily in that order.

Life isn't easy.

We all learn that the hard way,

In our own time,

Our own way;

We all will fall.

...

[Verse Four]

But I will rise up

And I will grow stronger,

Until each fall is just a dip in the road.

Be witness to this moment;

As I strike my match,

Banish my demons

And be my own light.

...!
