Surviving
Embrace Change: Finding Strength in Surviving Challenges
Lyrics
Don't hide your face
Encouragement not to conceal emotions or experiences
What you were before
Your past doesn’t define you
Doesn't have to be
You're not confined by who you were
You any more
Freedom from past identities
Maybe you've been scared
Previous fear might have shaped you
And that's what you know
Fear is familiar
And all the shame
Feelings of disgrace will resonate
Gonna call you home
Shame becomes a familiar place
It's gonna call you home
Shame persistently draws you in
It never was your fault
No blame rests on you
But still a part you played
You had a role, but not at fault
You carry it so close
The past is carried intimately
You can read it's name
Remnants of the past are evident
In a lot of ways
Similarities to past self exist
You're still that lost kid
Sense of being lost remains
Yeah, you could still survive
Potential to endure despite hardships
But not exactly live
Survival without fullness of life
No, not exactly live
Inability to truly live despite survival
Gonna stand this cold
Determination to face hardships
Gonna see it out
Commitment to endure difficulties
Never define yourself
Emphasis on not limiting oneself
What choice is left there to make?
Questioning the relevance of choices
If no one said it yet
Avoidance of expressing certain truths
It would be a shame
Importance of acknowledging a truth
It ends right now
Resolve to end a cycle of pain
You never wanted the pain
Unwillingness to experience pain
Never wanted the pain
Rejection of enduring pain
Never wanted the pain
Reiteration of aversion to pain
Never wanted the pain
Continued refusal of pain
Never wanted the pain
Reiterated rejection of pain
