about

This song was inspired, in part, by a death in my extended family and hearing his tragic story.

lyrics

I never fought
The way I fight you now
I always thought
I could beat it somehow
It isn't easy to live a life of pain
It isn't easy
To have to do it all over again

Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind blowing through my hair
Give me a reason to believe
Don't bring the darkness
I'm afraid of the nighttime
I need a reason to believe

Don't bring her in
Please don't bring her here
She's too young
To see her daddy's tears
My time has come
I can feel it seeping in
Just hold my hand
Because I need a friend

Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind blowing through my hair
Give me a reason to believe
Don't bring the darkness
I'm afraid of the nighttime
I need a reason to believe

No, don't put that needle in my vein
Please, don't put that needle in my vein
Just let me drift away
Set me out in the sunshine
Just don't bring back all that pain

Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind
Give me a reason to believe
I need a reason to believe
