No Maybe in Life
[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.
