I've been told not to turn away
From the path laid out for me
But it's so hard, you know
There's always something in my way
On my own
It carried me away, the darkness
I have no strength to get through
Because it's so hard, I know
To take the deepest breath
On my own
Should I dare to believe?
Let the darkness cover me?
Don't let it be so hard to grow
And be the best I can be
On my own
