I sat there with my heart split in two. Not really knowing what to do. I said what is the point it'll never mend. Do I just leave it broken then? These foolish words have no truth. The first step is knowing I'll get through. I know that hill is very hard to climb. It may be miles high. Behold the one who stands: No matter, what it takes. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. Behold the one who stands: No matter, what it takes. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks. It's time to take a stand. No more tears, no complaints. Now is the perfect time, to Make my move Through and through. I'll sing until the end of time. Nothing will stop Me from the end goal it is mine. Reaching to the top. Behold the one who always stands No matter what. The one who never stops Even when the heart breaks.
