I was at my weakest state

And you kept me pushing on

You gave me something to believe in

And it keeps me standing strong

These lessons that I've learned

These things I'll carry on

And when you're gone I'll honor you

Each day, however long



[chorus:]

This glimmer of hope was never enough

To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough

I held out for and I received

A pain that never left with no reprieve

Like a toast at a table where resentments run free

There can't be any truth where there's no honesty



Like an apple from the tree

you were lock jawed in your ways

A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days

Thought you'd stayed off my path

But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins

Is the same that runs through me



[chorus]



I had it all but lost my faith

And then you lead me to it

Today I'll carry on

I had it all but lost my faith

And now I've renewed it

These things I'll carry on
