lyrics

I've become more of what I thought I would never be.
I let the selfishness take hold when you needed me.
I can no longer stand back and watch my life go passing by.

I'm going to stand for what is right, and for what I know is true,
because if truth is really true,
there is no me, there is only You.
The line's been drawn in the sand, it's time I take my stand.

I'll be like the sheep in wolves' skin.
I'll be the one pressing on at the day's end.
When you're at my funeral and next to my kin,
make sure they save my seat at the wolves' den.

I will be all things to all men.
Let me see life through your eyes.

I refuse, I refuse. I refuse
to see a world, for what they say it is.
Turning blind eyes from the outstretched hands and cries.

I refuse to see the beggar, abandoned without a home.
I refuse to see the prostitute, feeling lost and all alone.
I refuse to see the bastard son, fatherless without cause.
I refuse to see this happen to the ones that I love.

I refuse to see these things, yet I refuse to see me.

Cause if I love you as myself,
I've hated you all along,
I saw you begging in the streets, said to myself "go find a job".
Forced to sell your body, while freely I gave mine.
I saw pain and no release.
I saw you, instead, of seeing me.
