i've lived a life of sorrow
never looking back
always face tomorrow
away from all my past
i grew up without the truth
always blinded by their lies
but i somehow made it through
and it's such a great suprise
living through pain and abuse
i knew there was a reason
i never blew my fuse
there's a time for every season
though i couldn't understand
i learned from every hurt
part of some masterplan
for which i've just begun to search
to live throughout the pain
and grow up against the tide
i'd never be the same
as any other guy
i learned both right and wrong
from all my shadowed past
as my heart was beating strong
there was a reason i should last
my heart has grown so deep
and my words became so soft
that i found i had no need
to turn my feelings off
i was spared many a time
when i could of given up
maybe even died
without a friend to trust
my life's taken many turns
and i still smile every day
even show off all the burns
i got along the way
