I´m a wavering candle light
I remain but I´m ever slight
Through all my years
I sit
In my room in the fading light
Righting back all my wrongs tonight
Cos I´m still here

Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I´m still haunted by
All the things I´ll never be

To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart´s a heavy burden
So I take
I don´t wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
On my knees tonight
I´ll take
Won´t wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight

I,Never knew it could be so cold
But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear
Still I fight
With my pen in my hand held tight
Writing protest songs tonight cos I´m still here

Boarded up all the doors
And I swallowed all the keys
I´m still haunted by
All the things I´ll never be

To live
Is to learn
Oh the heart´s a heavy burden
So I take
I don´t wait
Nothing ever is for certain
And I hold my hands up high
On my knees tonight
I´ll take
Won´t wait
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight

I´ll get off my knees and fight
Kick down the doors let in the light tonight
Tonight
