Intro: [In the style of Love and Rockets] Verse 1: Those eyes are watching me Those eyes are laughing at me Those hands are fist, clenched for me Those hands are gonna strangle me [spoken fearfully] Pre-Chorus: The weight of their gaze, heavy on my skin I can’t escape, I can’t give in But there’s something more, something they can’t see Buried inside, still holding on to me Chorus: Faith and hope in shadows lie But I won’t break, I won’t cry Even when the darkness falls I’ll rise again, I’ll stand tall Verse 2: Those thoughts are about me Those thoughts Think nothing good - about me Those people Say they don't want me Those people Don't understand me Pre-Chorus: Their words like chains, trying to bring me down But I refuse to wear their crown There's something inside, burning bright It’s faith and hope, ready to ignite Chorus: Faith and hope in shadows lie But I won’t break, I won’t cry Even when the darkness falls I’ll rise again, I’ll stand tall Refrain: You can’t kill what you can’t see Faith and hope will set me free You can’t silence what I know Faith and hope will help me grow Bridge: In the darkest hour, when all seems lost I’ll pay the price, whatever the cost For faith and hope still burn within They’ll carry me, they’ll help me win Chorus: Faith and hope in shadows lie But I won’t break, I won’t cry Even when the darkness falls I’ll rise again, I’ll stand tall Outro: Faith and hope, still standing strong Through all the pain, I’ll carry on Those eyes, those hands, those lies can’t win Faith and hope will rise again
