No sins to be paying for
So no guilt felt come the end
The rules laid down have failed
To prove themselves further in
Conscience is clean
But I now fear whats next
To have to leave behind or be the one that's
On the day I was named I was blessed with a fighting chance
Taught from birth to believe
All that I can achieve
Not just too waste away
Chasing bliss we can't attain
As days shorten it seems
Those held dear become more clear reminders of all that pure
Now I've come to know
I'm realizing everything passed down to me that makes me good I learned from you
Not instilled to breed fear of the unknown
But to grow
Promise of something more is no comfort through the storm
Only safety I know is that which I felt at home
I won't be talked into feeling like I need to be condemned for mistakes that I never made
I refuse to stand trial for a crime that's falsified
I wont be made to feel this guilt this pain
This disgrace
Built from birth to believe
All that I can achieve
Not just too waste away
Chasing bliss we can't attain
Beauty in front i see
Can't be matched in a dream
Grateful for everything
That was handed to me
(I will stay)
Grateful for everything
