It is not love if love is cold to touch
It is not belief when there's nothing there to trust
Could not submit would never bring myself to heal
Determination grows as each truth's revealed
Torn and repaired just to endure it all again
Without a reason for my place in all this pain
Though well-concealed, the scars they just compound
Until there's nothing left of what was my former self
My god
Look at what we are now
Without regret
For all the things that we have done
Thank you for all the doubt
And for all the questioning
For all the loneliness and for all the suffering
For all the emptiness and the scars it left inside
It inspired in me an impetus to fight
For the conviction, for the purpose found the wrong
For the strength and courage that in me I've never known
And if it seems to you that my words are undeserved
I write this in gratitude for whatever good it serves
Sometimes I wish that you could see me now
In the rightful place where I knew that I belong
Sometimes I wish that you might someday understand
And close a chapter, lay to rest the past
But nothing would change, we made the best of what we have
For we are measured by the actions of our lives
We bide our time, let the future unfold
Like immortals in great legends to be told
My god
Look at what we are now
Without regret for all the things that we have done
Thank you for all the doubt, and for all the questioning
For all the loneliness and for all the suffering
For all emptiness and the scars it left inside
It inspired in me an impetus to fight
To all who stood with me when we stood as one
Thank you for guiding me, for bringing me home
And if it seems that I'm obliged to say these words
I write this in gratitude, the least that you deserve
