How...does one know if he is strong?
And how...do you know if fighting,
Is right, or if it's wrong?

I! Have been holding on so long!
This life is so real!
I never thought I would feel,
All this pain inside!
It is the story, the story of my life,
So many nightmares, so many sleepless nights...!
I! I cannot break now,
Because if I do, there is no way out...
And so I cry...

And my heart breaks at the sound...

It is the,
Sound of my joy,
The sound of my pain,
And, this will never change
It is the,
Sound of my laughter,
The sound of my tears,
These things will remain...
The sound, you see,
It's the rhythm that surrounds me...

I! I have been left for dead!
My soul, from me has fled!
Because of the paths that I must tread
I! I do not want to be me!
Where is my God?
And his fabled mercy?
I! I cannot break now,
Because if I do, there is no way out,
And so I cry...

And my heart breaks at the sound

It is the,
Sound of refusing,
The sound of believing,
And never letting go
It is the,
Sound of two heartbeats,
Beating in time together,
And, this will never change
The sound, you see!
It's the rhythm that surrounds me...!

The sound...You see)
Driving through me!
The sound...(You see)
My emotions consume me!
The sound...(You see)
I am a shell of what I was!
And I don't know who I'll be!
I just need a reprieve...

I find it in the,
Sound of the music,
It flows right through me,
And never lets me go
It is the sound of my joy,
The sound of my pain,
And this will never change
It is the sound of refusing,
The sound of believing,
The sound of a forever,
And a heart that's beating!
The sound...
You see!
It's everything around me!
The sound...
You see!
It's all my love abounding!
It's the sound...
You see!
It's the sound of living!
