Give Me Strength Lyrics - Over The Rhine

Sitting in the rain alone 

Looking at a place that's gone 

Boarded up my memories 

But something's drawn me here again and I 

I cannot leave the past alone 

Hoped that I would never find 

All the shit I left behind 

Now I find the child in me is going to remind me that I 

I can't forget my past for long 

So take a look outside yourself 

And tell me what you see 

I can't believe 

That you won't see the change in me 

Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me 

Give me time to heal and build myself a dream 

Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me 

Give me strength to be only me 

I don't want to hear the things 

You say you know all you've redeemed 

'Cause I can't change what's come before 

Build myself some better dreams 

And cast off the fear that holds me here 

So take a look outside yourself 

And tell me what you see 

I can't believe 

That you won't see the change in me 

Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me 

Give me time to heal and build myself a dream 

Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me 

Give me strength to be only me
