Everybody loves a rose
Will you be thankful for the thorns?
Love is easy when you're loved
Do you curse another when you're alone?

Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

You say live and let live
But people are dying everyday
You say what I don't know wont hurt me
But if what I do not know
Is the very thing I need
Then I say....

Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

Humanity sees truth through shattered window panes
That blocks the view, and plants the seed
So we draw the curtains to a close but I say
That the sun can still shine
behind a closed mind
And sticks and stones do hurt
When tossed from the tongue of mankind

Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again

Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

Paradigm...
Paradigm is shifting, is shifting... away, away...
