Everybody loves a rose

But will you be thankful for the thorns?

Love is easy when you're loved

But do you curse another when you're alone



(Chorus) Oh, I give my life to you so I can take it back again

Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting



You say live and let live

But people are dying everyday

And 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....



(Chorus)



Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane

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



(Chorus)



Oh, oh I give my life to you so I can take it back again



(Chorus)



Paradigm.....

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