[English]

Am I dead? Or is this one of those dreams?

Those horrible dreams

that seems like it last forever

If I am alive, why?

Why if there is a God a whatever, something, somewhere.

Why have I been abandoned by everyone and everything I've ever known

I've ever loved. Stranded.

What is the lesson? What is the point?

God give me a sign or I have to give up.

I can't do this anymore.

Please just let me die. Being alive hurts too much.

Well you almost had me fooled

Told me that I was nothing without you

Oh after everything you've done

I can thank you for how strong I have become

Cuz you brought the flames and you put me through hell

I had to learn how to fight for myself

And we both know all the truth I could tell

I'll just say this as I wish you farewell

I hope you're somewhere praying, praying

I hope your soul is changing, changing

I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees Praying

I'm proud of who I am

No more monsters I can breathe again

And you said that I was done

Well you were wrong and now the best is yet to come

Cuz I can make it on my own

I don't need you, I've found a strength I've never known

I'll bring thunder I'll bring rain

When I'm finished they won't even know your name

You brought the flames and you put me through hell

I had to learn how to fight for myself

And we both know all the truth I could tell

I'll just say this as I wish you farewell

I hope you're somewhere praying, praying

I hope your soul is changing, changing

I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees Praying

Sometimes I pray for you at night

Someday maybe you'll see the light

Ohh some say in life you're gonna get what you give

But some things only God can forgive

I hope you're somewhere praying, praying

I hope your soul is changing, changing

I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees Praying
