Lyrics

Lyrics adapted from Whatever We Wanna.

The light of my life has been stolen
I've walked in every shade of black
And I never thought I would get me
back
It's funny how life can change you
And make you who you are today
I wonder if God set it up that way
For me to be

(CHORUS)
Strong even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn gotta let it
burn
Strong, strong
To make a big mistake now I've run
away

There's nothing like this feeling
To be free and unafraid
And who ever thought I could be this
brave
Learning every day

(CHORUS)

I wanna pus away the boundaries
I wanna love outside the lines
I wanna star at the sun I don't care if I
go blind
Whatever comes, whatever breaks, I'll
stand up straight

(CHORUS)
