[Intro]
Finally, you've given me
A reason to be strong
And we'll stand
Hand in hand
'Til the end

[Verse 1]
As my body's shaking
The future is out there waiting
For me to grasp the light
That's trembling just like my hand
I gotta keep it safe from fading
That's all I want
The subtle scent of midnight
I spent all thirty nights
I glare up at the stars
Staring into the sky
The path I see before me
I know only I can change it
That's all that I need

[Pre-Chorus]
Finally, you've given me
A reason to be strong
And we'll stand
Hand in hand
Till the end
[Chorus]
Despite the past mistakes we can't erase
A future that we can't escape
As long as I can always keep you safe
I've gotta be strong
So to your name
I'll fight through the pain
This world can
Beat me down a hundred times
But into the light, I'll always rise
A lotus flower so pure
Right up to the end
Until it blooms
A bright red

[Verse 2]
I can hear the lightning
There's not a song more frightening
And like a storm you can't
Control some things in this world
Not everything can be protected
I already know that

Good and evil they will always want to intertwine
Our true nature hiding beneath the surface
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
I don't need you
Like a wildflower growing tall
There's beauty in the way you live
And thrive despite it all
[Chorus]
This road is overgrown with deadly thorns
Like an endless night of violent storms
But for your sake
Through all the twists and turns
I'll try to be brave
With only my love
I'm rising above

The dreams I tried but couldn't bring to life
And the ones I only see at night
They're rooted deep in my heart
That's where they'll remain
I'll let them grow wild
In my veins

[Bridge]
A meaningless conclusion calls
So quietly the curtain falls
A broken scream upon the wind
But none to hear the heartless sin
The shadow of a laughing soul
The sorrow of a heart wishing
Only for love
Only for light
Only for life
[Chorus]
Despite the past mistakes we can't erase
A future that we can't escape
As long as I can always keep you safe
I've gotta be strong
So to your name
I'll fight through the pain

This world can
Beat me down a hundred times
But into the light, I'll always rise
A lotus flower so pure
Right up to the end
Until it blooms
A bright red
