I Won’t Fall Again

I was raised by the roadside

From the cold and empty skies

With the wind as my only friend

Hearin' all my silent cries

I've been walkin' through the dark

For a time I can't defend

But I feel it in my heart now

This broken road is gonna bend

It's been a long slow burning night

But I see a spark begin

Yeah, the tide will turn

Oh, the tide will turn

Some doors were closed

Before I could knock

And voices in the distance

Saying, "You don't belong"

I kept carrying silence

Like a weight in my chest

But a whisper keeps on rising

Saying, "You deserve the rest"

It's been a long hard climb uphill

But I feel the shift within

Yeah, the tide will turn

Oh, the tide will turn

Oh-oh, I'll reach for a life-line

But it slipped through my hands

Still I stood in the wreckage

Trying hard to stand

There were days I was fading

In the weight of it all

But I found something in me

Wouldn't let me fall

It's been a long, long road to here

But I know I can begin

Yeah, the tide will turn

Oh, yes, it will
