Everybody loves a rose, But will you be thankful for the thorns? Love is easy when you're loved But do you curse another when you're alone? Oh, I give my life to you so I can gain it back again Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting You say live and let live But people are dying everyday And you say what I don't know won't hurt me But if what I do not know is the very thing I need, then I say (I say) Oh, I give my life to you so I can gain it back again (back again) Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane That blocks the view, and plants the seed So we draw the cutains to close but I say That the sun can still shine behind a closed mind And sticks and stones do hurt When tossed from the tongue of mankind Oh, I give my life to you so I can gain it back again Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm keeps shifting Oh, I give my life to you so I can gain it back again Oh, I give my life to you so I can gain it back again Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting (Paradigm is shifting) Paradigm (Paradigm is shifting) Paradigm is shifting (Is shifting) Away (Away)
