Give Me Strength Songtext
von Over the Rhine

Sitting in the rain alone
Looking at a place that′s gone
Bordered up my memories
But something's drawn me here again
And I, I cannot leave the past alone

Hoped that I would never find
All the shit I′d left behind
Now I find the child in me
Is going to remind me that I
I can't forget my past for long

So take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
I can't believe that you won′t see
The change in me


Give me strength to find
The road that′s lost in me
And give me time to heal
And build myself a dream
And give me eyes to see
The world surrounding me
And give me strength to be only me

I don't wanna hear the things
You say you know all you′ve redeemed
I can't change what′s come before
Build myself some better dreams
And cast off the fear that holds me here

So take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
Cause I can't believe that you won′t see
The change in me

Give me strength to find
The road that's lost in me
And give me time to heal
And build myself a dream
And give me eyes to see
The world surrounding me
And give me strength to be only me
