No one made you feel any hurt, yeah

Body's movin',  Only Provin',
No one heeds to move

Still believin',  Yet mistaken,
All God's children, yeah

And I must say, I was stupid
Selfishly she consumed, yeah

And you must change, patterns all we trained
or n'er regain peace you seek
Now you hear me, for the things I see
Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah

Bridge:

D              C             G             D
Throw out,  Blow up,  Hold in

D              C            G                 D     A
Show fine, No signs, Grow Blind
