Over the Rhine Album: The Cutting Room Floor Track: Give Me Strength (Acoustic)
Give Me Strength (Acoustic) Lyrics
Words and music: Dido Armstrong, Pascal Gabriel, Paul Statham
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
