On My Own


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
