  • I grew up in silence
    From silence I became my history
    They fed me fear and violence
    They hooked me up to this reality
    Now I'm not cursing anyone
    They only did what they had done to them
    But if you want to know where I am now
    Then just breathe in and let it out

    When you are at the end of your rope
    Come find me
    Holding on to your last string of hope
    Come find me
    Open up your eyes
    I'll show you what your worth
    Don't you know it's you and me
    In this heaven on earth

    When I laid down my burden
    The one where I had something I should prove
    Then I found my power
    The one where I'm the mountain I could move

    So if you want to know where I am now
    Then just breathe in and let it out

    When you are at the end of your rope
    Come find me
    Holding on to your last string of hope
    Come find me
    Open up your eyes
    I'll show you what your worth
    Don't you know it's you and me
    In this heaven on earth

    Don't you know that you are golden
    Don't you know that you are pure delight, baby
    It doesn't matter what they painted on you
    You can wash it all away tonight

    When you are at the end of your rope
    Come find me
    Holding on to your last string of hope
    Come find me
    Open up your eyes
    And I'll show you what your worth
    Don't you know it's you and me
    In this heaven on earth

    Come on open up your eyes
    I'll show you what your worth
    Don't you know it's you and me
