well everyone's got something they're afraid of,
and my dear i fear losing you.
but don't think i won't be there if you need me,
it's just sometimes i get scared too.
and i know that my fears are unfounded,
it's just this thing that builds inside my brain.
if i could just remember what you told me,
you said fear leads to shame and your not to blame. but now as we go
down this long dark road,
we'll keep our eyes fixed on
one another.
with your hand in mine
and some trust and a smile
we'll know there's no hill too big for us to climb.

so we'll reach for the stars,
but if we land on the moon,
it's all right
cause we know we did the best we could do,
no regrets, don't forget that sometimes life is hard.
i felt like shit when i left and you wanted me to stay, but i felt good when i was broke,
because i gave it all away.
oh it's weird and it's strange,
but it's nice when things work out that way.
so we fight with our heads held high,
and we won't back down
from these wars in this world, from these wars in our souls.

we just have to believe...we set ourselves free.

i looked down on the graves from the marta train
and i wondered if anybody ever really gets saved,
or is it just something people tell themselves
to make it through the day.
but just know that everything is gonna be all right, death is too hard to conceptualize.
i think we save ourselves when we laugh with our friends, when we cry.
so we fight with our heads held high,
and we won't back down,
from these wars in this world, from these wars in our souls.

we just have to believe... we set ourselves free.
