[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
