Learning to Live

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] There was no time for pain, no energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone, he stops and takes a breath With confidence and self-control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart To show me understanding I need to live life, like some people never will So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees, and I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth [Chorus] The way your heart sounds, makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats, makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul, I'm learning to live I won't give up 'til I've no more to give, no more to give! [Verse 2] Woah, listening to the city, whispering its violence I set out watching from above The 90s bring new questions, new solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down Once again we dance in the crowd, at times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out, it won't listen to what you say Once you're touched you stand alone to face the bitter fight Once I reached for love and now I reach for life [Verse 3] Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams Into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind As I'm lifted from where I've spilt my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Break] [Keyboard Solo] [Chorus] The way your heart sounds, makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats, makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live [Instrumental Outro]
