Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song to help two of my friends who were going through some personal problems. The song shows them that they can't hide from their difficulties, that they must face them and it gives them the strength to get through them.

Song Description

This is a very spiritual and uplifting song. I have performed this song at treatment centers for alcohol, drug addiction and domestic violence and the response I received was powerful. Many people told me that this song helped them to stay sober.

Lyrics

V1 You're the kind
who doesn't want to talk about it
thinks that you can live without it
but you find it interferes with
everything you do
You're not blind
you've got lots of insights and clues
to help everyone else but you
and you wonder if you try
what good would it do?

Living on the surface isn't easy
it leaves you feeling lonely and so blue
There's just got to be something more
than what you thought
life had in store for you

C* There's no way out but through
You can't run, you can't hide
it will catch up with you
There's no way out but through
Don't be afraid, you must be brave
and listen to what your heart is telling you

V2 It's hard to trust
Trust has always been so painful
you see your losses but no gains
disappointment and regret
is all life's been for you
You must try
to search and find your inner light
though you cannot see it right now
seek and you will find it
it's always there for you

Living in the dark isn't easy
it leaves you feeling sad and confused
There's just got to be something more
than what you thought
life had in store for you

C* There's no way out but through
You can't run, you can't hide
it will catch up with you
There's no way out but through
Don't be afraid, you must be brave
and listen to what your heart is telling you
