I am a wavering candle light I remain but i'm ever slight Through all my years I sit In my room in the fading light Righting back all my wrongs tonight Cos i'm still here Boarded up all the doors And i swallowed all the keys I'm still haunted by All the things i'll never be To live Is to learn Oh the heart's a heavy burden So i take I don't wait Nothing ever is for certain And i hold my hands up high On my knees tonight I'll take Won't wait I will live and learn my lesson here tonight I never knew it could be so cold But i burnt all the things i used to hold so dear Still i fight With my pen in my hand held tight Writing protest songs tonight cos i'm still here Boarded up all the doors And i swallowed all the keys I'm still haunted by All the things i'll never be To live Is to learn Oh the heart's a heavy burden So i take I don't wait Nothing ever is for certain And i hold my hands up high On my knees tonight I'll take Won't wait I will live and learn my lesson here tonight I'll get off my knees and fight Kick down the doors let in the light tonight Tonight
