Lyrics
Intro
When life is difficult, just have faith
Glory always comes at a cost
Be Proud of how far you’ve come
Your salvation is near, never give up in love
verse
Cried my eyes out
Stretched out my brains with so many questions
Thought my end was near
Felt casted out of the entire Universe
Took in the pain in silence
Thought my days were buried in sheer darkness
Had no air to breathe, simply suffocated
Held my head up high in great fear
bridge
They say time heals, it softens the pain, it makes us forget our tragedies, and move in the light of life. Now I’m stronger and wiser, now I know that I want only one thing
chorus
Give me back my life
Give me back my dignity
I was a star in the sky
And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage
My life is mine to enjoy
And not yours to squander around
Give me back my life
Give me back my dignity
I was a star in the sky
And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage
My life is mine to enjoy
And not yours to squander around
Intro
When life is difficult, just have faith
Glory always comes at a cost
Be Proud of how far you’ve come
Your salvation is near, never give up in love
verse
Forgive and forget
Life is more than that
One step at a time
Small goals to large
Once I was a slave to your command
Now I’m free and shed no tear
I hit button reset and I’m proud to say
Not anymore looking back, now life is right in front of me
bridge
They say time heals, it softens the pain, it makes us forget our tragedies, and move in the light of life. Now I’m stronger and wiser, now I know that I want only one thing
chorus
Give me back my life
Give me back my dignity
I was a star in the sky
And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage
My life is mine to enjoy
And not yours to squander around
Give me back my life
Give me back my dignity
I was a star in the sky
And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage
My life is mine to enjoy
And not yours to squander around
Intro

Give me back my dignity

And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage

Give me back my life
Give me back my dignity
I was a star in the sky
And you made me trash in your garbage tray
Give me back my life
You have no business holding me hostage
