This Is Me

I know, what it,
Means to be alive
(This is me...)
I won't, give in,
No matter how hard you try
(This is me...)
Desire, raging,
But it fades so fast
(This is me...)
Conscience, waking,
It was built to last
(This is me...)
Moving, forward,
Never looking back
(This is me...)

This is me!
And far as I can see,
I can live forever,
In the strength of your memory
My eyes are open,
They are open wide!
This is me...
This is how I survive...

This is me

Every, single,
Day fills me with pain
(This is me...)
But I'm not, leaving,
I choose to remain
(This is me...)
If there's nothing, ventured,
Then there is nothing gained
(This is me...)
Making, promises,
I know that I'll keep
(This is me...)
Feeling, a love,
That burns so deep
(This is me...)

This is me!
And far as I can see,
I can live forever,
In the strength of your memory
My eyes are open,
They are open wide!
This is me...
This is how I survive...

This is me

This is me!
Standing here before you,
And baring my soul!
This is me!
Holding you in my arms,
When you've nowhere left to go!
Who I am!
Is who I'm meant to be...!
What you get...
Is what you see...
This is me...

This is me!
And far as I can see,
I can live forever,
In the strength of your memory
My eyes are open,
They are open wide!
This is me...
This is how I survive!
This is me...
And I could never be...
Less than who I am...
