lyrics
We are not bound by our choices
There is still time we can always save
Never forget where we came from
I will not be swayed
We cannot alter the endings
But possess the strength just to start again
A shadow as tall as the mountains
I shall not be swayed
The beauty out here
Astounds me
But I long for home
Recover this sense of ease
How I long for home
Ive been walking forests alone
All alone
And ive lost my way
Lead me back
Show me where I went wrong on the map
Lead me back
Where did I lose my way
The beauty out here
Astounds me
But I long for home
Recover this sense of ease
How I long for home
Maybe I am braver
Maybe I am strong
Im lower than I know (Lower than I know!)
But maybe im more than I thought all along
I am incredible!
Lead me back
Show me where I went wrong on the map
Lead me back
Where did I lose my way
Guidance
And a helping hand
Show me the way
Light my path
Walking alone
Has taken its toll
But im ready to change
ready to change
Im ready to fight (I wont need you, to haunt me any longer!)
Im ready to be who I am inside (I wont need you to haunt me anymore!)
This is all ive ever wanted (I wont need you to haunt me any longer!)
And now I hold it in my hands (I wont need you to haunt me anymore!)
Please just not me
Please just not me
Just haunt someone else so I can finally sleep
Just haunt someone else
Well, I wont need you to haunt me any more (walking alone, has taken its toll!)
I wont need you to haunt me any longer (Im ready to change, im ready to fight, im ready to be!)
Please just not me (like the tallest mountain, I shall not be swayed!)
Just not me
Haunt someone else so I can finally sleep (but like the deepest ocean, I am incredible!)
