from me to you

Lyrics

i'm leaving by night, i'm leaving alone, i'm leaving it lie, when you waken i'll be gone, i would not beg for me, as i would 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 changing your mind, you haven't got the grace, to say you'll finally decide, and you haven't got the strength, to stay and fight, those people who surround you, only want to see you weak enough to crawl, they'll lie for you decide for you, and buy up all your rights and all your wrongs, and they'll try to stop your singing, in the middle of your song, for they do not want you free, and they do not make you strong, but only drag you down, in the hole they're coming from, they say you are foolish in wanting the sun, say you are selfish in learning to run, and they'll tell you that the darkness, is a blessing in disguise, for you 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 beginning, you're learning to fly, you feel like you're falling, but it passes in time, i hate to see a friend, go down in flames without a song, so i'm waiting by the doorway, but i will not linger long, i'm leaving by night, i'm leaving alone, i'm leaving it lie, when you waken i'll be gone, i would not beg for me, as i could not beg for you, but i'd like to be the one, to see you through
