Still Myself
Thought I'd live by your side
And die in your arms
We were close as the wind to the rain
Thought I'd take on your dreams
And bathe in your light
But this moment is all that remains
And I know I'll make something from nothing
But that first step's the hardest to take
So I will still myself
Conquer my fears
And I will steel myself
Cushion the fall
And I will still myself
So deep in the silence
Til I recall, I'm still myself after all
I know that I've never
Walked in these shoes
And your footprints have washed in the sand
No, I can't stay forever
Waiting by the shore
But my life feels like some foreign land
Sometimes we all feel like strangers
Just trying to find our way home
So I will still myself
And conquer my fears
And I will steel myself
Cushion the fall
And I will still myself
So deep in the silence
Til I recall, I'm still myself after all
In the whisper of memories
In my heart you are with me
And a part of the journey
Is having the faith to go on
So I will still myself
Conquer my fears
And I will steel myself
Cushion the fall
And I will still myself
So deep in the silence
Til I recall, I'm still myself
Still myself
Still myself
After all
