I left their sheltered care and walked A rogue in total freedom To see the world with my own eyes Live by my sword I joined the fray to find What I believed was instant wisdom But what I got was more than I ever wished for Hate to bring you down To push your face into the ground But it never is that simple Try so hard To see the shards for what they are No, it never will be simple Sometimes emotion clouds my sight As I rejoice in life I know to treasure my own zest For I am still young I let my inspiration Savior me from mundane strife And I refuse to be unheard, my truth unsung Hate to bring you down To push your face into the ground But it never is that simple Try so hard To see the shards for what they are No, it never will be simple ♪ Hate to bring you down To push your face into the ground But it never is that simple Try so hard To see the shards for what they are No, it never will be simple Hate to bring you down To push your face into the ground But it never is that simple Try so hard To see the shards for what they are No, it never will be simple
