From Me To You

Im leaving by night,
Im leaving alone
Im leaving it lie when you waken
Ill be gone
I would not beg for me as
I would not beg for you
Though Id like to be the one to see you through
Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
Youre torn up and shaken with changing your mind
You havent got the grace to say youll finally decide
And you havent got the strength to stay and fight
Those people who surround you
Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
Theyll lie for you, decide for you
And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
And theyll 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 theyre coming from
They say you are foolish in wanting the sun
Say you are selfish in learning to run
And theyll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
For you never have to notice if youre sighted or youre blind
And theyll do their best to keep you from the light
Youre more than beginning, youre learning to fly
You feel like youre falling but it passes in time
I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
So Im waiting by the doorway but
I will not linger long
And Im leaving by night,
Im leaving alone
Im leaving it lie, when you waken
Ill be gone
I would not beg for me as
I could not beg for you
But Id like tobe the one to see you through
