I'm leavin' by night, I'm leavin' alone
I'm leavin' you like, when you're awaken, I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I could not beg for you
Though I'd like to be the one to see you through
Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
You're torn up and shaken with changin' your mind
You haven't got the grace to say you'll finally decide
And you haven't got the strength to stay to fight
And those people who surround you only want to see you weak enough to crawl
They'll lie for you, they'll decide for you and buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And they'll try and stop your singin' in the middle of your song, for they do not want you free
They will not make you strong but won't they drag you down in the hole they're comin' from?
They say you are foolish for wantin' the sun, they call you selfish
For learnin' to run, they'll tell you that the darkness is a blessin' in disguise
You'll never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
And they'll do their best to keep you from the light
You're more than beginnin', you're learnin' to fly
It feels like you're fallin', but it passes in time
And I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
So, I'm waitin' by the doorway, and I will not linger long
I'm leavin' by night, I'm leavin' alone
And I'm leavin' you like, when you're awaken, I'll be gone
I would not beg for me as I would not beg for you
But I'd like to be the one to see you through
