Respected

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me, 
Here in the shade, oh the bright lights, they blind me 

Yesterday is gone, time for moving on, 
Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart, 
It's another day, I've got to find a better way, 
Won't you help me? 

Failing that, 
If you have to go, 
It's all up to me, I know 

I just wanna change my world, 
But from the inside, 
I just wanna live my life, 
And make this place, make this time, 
For all our lives to be, 
Respected 

Here in the cold, light of day, this vision, 
Paints a different world, a world of the heart, 
And I'd like to live there 

I've been on the run, from all the people I've become, 
I want to shed this skin, and start it all again, 
I want to draw a line, in the sand for one last time, 
Will you help me? 

Failing that, 
If you have to go, 
It's all up to me I know 

I just wanna change my world, 
But from the inside, 
I just wanna live my life, 
With some hope, and to do what's right, 
I just wanna change this world, 
And make this place, make this time, 
For all our lives to be, 
Respected
