Learning To Live

There was no time for pain, no energy for anger

The sightlessness of hatred slips away

Walking through winter streets alone

He stops and takes a breath, with confidence and self control

I look at the world and see no understanding

I'm waiting to find some sense of strength

I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart

To show me understanding

I need to live life like some people never will

So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth

When temptation brings me to my knees

And I lay here drained of strength

Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth

The way your heart sounds makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats makes all the difference

In learning to live

Here before me is my soul

I'm learning to live

I won't give up till

I've no more to give

I don't wanna give

The way your heart sounds makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats makes all the difference

In learning to live

Oh, spread before you is your soul

So forever hold the dreams within our hearts

Through nature's inflexible grace

I'm learning to live
