throw a dime to make a wish cause I've been climbin up the mountain of this life that you posses I'm a veteran of this war I have not begun to fight I've not even scratched the surface of the things that I just might
and if I fall, down, I'll pick myself up so I don't hit the ground, now I am still alive I don't know how I found a way to take another breath of life when I've been living with so much regret
show me how to rise from nothing and make something of your life god gave me this gift for something so I will not be contrived look into my eyes they are witness to my soul and the pain that makes me interesting is a way of letting go
I can fake rising from ashes Who've burned brighter than before I don't really want to crash this Little party you have thrown I've been pushed into the corner I have nothing left to lose There's a darker side inside me And it's one you can't abuse
