I've never seen the sun
I've never known the wind
I took life like a secret
kept my feelings deep within
Too afraid to fight
Too afraid to win
am i truly afraid to die...
or am i afraid to live?
please show me the sun
let me see the wind
feel blood flow through my veins
let out what i hold in
teach me how to fight
show me how to win
do not let me die...
before i've learned to live
