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...
