Lyrics
You said it'd be a journey
You said it'd be a roller coaster
I couldn't look you in the eye
I couldn't see past my next bit of misery
Then you showed me how
Even when I said I didn't care
Decisions to be made
I couldn't fathom them at all
The pain inside was buried so deep
I couldn't see past my own deeds
I worked so long and hard trying to fill that void
Till I couldn't feel anything at all.
Then you took me in
Gave me strength to be my crazy self
I saw that you could feel and understand cause you've been there yourself
We'll reach out our hands
Let them know that they're not alone
The only way to reach it
The only way to keep it
Is to keep on reaching out
And give it away.
Day by day we're doing our best
Taking what we need
And leaving all the rest
And for those walking through that door
Another journey can begin.
Then you showed me how
Even when I said I wasn't sure
I saw that you could feel and understood
"Cause you'd been there before
We'll reach out our hands
Let them know that they're not alone
The only way to reach it
The onlty way to teach it
Is to keep on reaching out
And give it away
Just give it away.
