Give Me Strength - Over the Rhine

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 alone

Hoped 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 long

So take a look outside yourself

And tell me what you see

I can’t believe

That you won’t see the change in me

Give 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

I 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 here

So take a look outside yourself

And tell me what you see

I can’t believe

That you won’t see the change in me

Give 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
