Give Me Strength - Over the Rhine

Give Me Strength Lyrics

Sitting in the rain alone
Looking at a place that's gone
Boarded up my memories
But something's drawn me here again and I
I cannot leave the past aloneHoped that I would never find
All the shit I left behind
Now I find the child in me
Is going to remind me that I
I can't forget my past for longSo take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
I can't believe
That you won't see the change in meGive me strength to find the road that's lost in me
Give me time to heal and build myself a dream
Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
Give me strength to be only meI don't want to hear the things
You say you know all you've redeemed
'Cause I can't change what's come before
Build myself some better dreams

And cast off the fear that holds me hereSo take a look outside yourself
And tell me what you see
'Cause I can't believe
That you won't see the change in meGive me strength to find the road that's lost in me
Give me time to heal and build myself a dream
Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
Give me strength to be only me
