You Can't Give In
(For Mandi)
I've
got so much to say but no-one's listening
at least the ones who listen aren't those that need to hear
The lessons I have learned aren't there just for the taking
not through all the stony walls that we have built of pride and
fear
You've got to try to keep your head above the water
though sometimes it would be easier to let it go, to drown
You've got to find a way to stop the inner slaughter
when it seems there isn't anywhere a safe way to be found
For tomorrow will come
And your life won't come undone
There is more to life than this
Love can show you all there is
If you just let truth in
Then the healing can begin!
The voices deep inside you tell your stories
until you want to run away and find a quiet place to hide
We all wish that we could sing honest songs of glory
but the truth is small and sad, and the song becomes a cry
There is hope to be had but it takes courage
To see yourself in honesty and learn from your mistakes
If you want to bring your soul into a new age
Look at your shattered heart and find the pattern in the breaks
And then tomorrow will come
and your life won't come undone
THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS
love can show you all there is
if you'll just let truth come in
then the healing can begin......
