Song Lyrics

As I raise my head to broadcast my objectionAs your latest triumph draws the final strawWho died and lifted you up to perfection?And what silenced me is written into law.I can`t believe where circumstance has thrown meAnd I turn my head awayIf I look I`m not sure that I could face you.Not again. Not today. Not today.If hatred makes a play on me tomorrowAnd forgiveness takes a back seat to revengeThere`s a hurt down deep that has not been correctedThere`s a voice in me that says you will not win.And if I ignore the voice inside,Raise a half glass to my home.But it`s there that I am most afraid,And forgetting doesn`t hold. It doesn`t hold. Now I don`t believe and I never didThat two wrongs make a right.If the world were filled with the likes of youThen I`m putting up a fight. Putting up a fight.Putting up a fight. Make it right. Make it right.Now love cannot be called into question.Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.And love... love will be my strongest weapon.I do believe that I am not alone.For this fear will not destroy me.And the tears that have been shedIt`s knowing now where I am weakestAnd the voice in my head. In my head.Then I raise my voice up higherAnd I look you in the eyeAnd I offer love with one condition.With conviction, tell me why.Tell me why.Tell me why.Look me in the eye.Tell me why.
