all you want to see is make believe

This road is anything but simple, twisted like a riddle
I've seen high and I've seen low
So loud, the voices over my doubts
Are telling me to give up
To pack up and leave town

But even so I have to believe
Impossible means nothing to me

So can you lift me up and turn the ashes into flames
Cos I have overcome more than words will ever say
And I've been given hope that there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, everybody starts there
You're counting on a small prayer, lost in a nightmare
But I'm here and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It's hard for me to outrun my fears

Down and out is overrated and I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough, no
I would rather rise above

So can you lift me up and turn the ashes into flames
Cos I have overcome more than words will ever say
And I've been given hope that there's a light on up the hall
And that a day will come when the fight is won

And I think that day has just begun
