| This awakening
 | 
| This questioning of our mortality
 | 
| This awakening
 | 
| this questioning of our mortality keeps us alive
 | 
| You didn’t ask for my permission to take his life
 | 
| You didn’t ask for my opinion or those he left behind
 | 
| No matter how dark it seems to be now
 | 
| Where there is life, there is always hope
 | 
| Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it’s back on me
 | 
| Now let’s go
 | 
| Give me something to believe in while my heart is in my hands
 | 
| Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it’s back on me
 | 
| Please don’t give up on me
 | 
| I’m here to write this letter
 | 
| I’ve got this pen and paper
 | 
| I’m here to write this letter to show things will get better.
 | 
| I’d like to leave an echo whispering down the ways
 | 
| Of happy times, laughing times, and bright and sunny days
 | 
| I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun
 | 
| To live in peace and solace when the deed of life is done
 | 
| I turned to music when my father passed
 | 
| and when my brother left this world there was no turning back
 | 
| I know I’m meant to be the rock but lately I’ve been feeling weaker than I
 | 
| ever thought
 | 
| No matter how dark it seems to be now,
 | 
| Where there is life, there is always hope
 | 
| Give me something to believe in when the world has turned it’s back on me
 | 
| Oh god the mistakes that I have made
 | 
| How many souls have I harmed along the way?
 | 
| I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell
 | 
| But when you’re laying on that bed you will take anyone’s help
 | 
| All I want is to be remembered
 | 
| To leave a mark and to live forever
 | 
| Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore
 | 
| I know
 | 
| I know what it’s like to feel alone
 | 
| Everything i touch now either dies or turns to stone
 | 
| Now press rewind
 | 
| And play it back a thousand times
 | 
| You can pick me up or you can throw me down
 | 
| You can chew me up and you can spit me out
 | 
| My heart grows founder, it only makes me stronger
 | 
| To anyone that’s picked me up and to anyone that’s
 | 
| held me down
 | 
| My heart grows fonder, it only makes me stronger now
 | 
| Stronger now
 | 
| It only makes me stronger
 | 
| Oh god the mistakes that I have made
 | 
| How many souls have I harmed along the way?
 | 
| I was certain until now there was no heaven or hell
 | 
| But when you’re laying on that bed you will
 | 
| take anyone’s help
 | 
| All I want is to be remembered
 | 
| To leave a mark and to live forever.
 | 
| Etch my name into the stone for eternity and forevermore. |
