Damaged - Redemption

You have your reasons for waiting for the worst

Our learned behavior is so difficult to break

I have my reasons for clinging to my hope

Chances I have to take

The only conclusion is love over fear

Without it we’ll never live

(Solo: Friedman)

I have my reasons for pushing way too hard

Solving a problem where one may not exist

You have your reasons for wanting your own space

Just don’t confuse yourself

The easy solution is letting us grow

So simple but yet so hard

(Guitar Line: Friedman)

I know you’ve been so damaged by the choices you have made

I know you don’t believe that you deserve what I would give

Please recognize that love must conquer fear

And that the struggle there is all life is

(Guitar Line: van Dyk)

I understand that I can push things

To a self-defeating point

It’s hard to make myself let go

In order to hold on

(Guitar Line: Friedman)

(Solos: van Dyk, Friedman)

The last resolution is simply to be

Embracing the possible

I know I’ve been transformed by all the choices I have made

I know I’ve been afraid to make the leap of faith I need

One day perhaps we’ll recognize that love must conquer fear

That’s what life is

(Guitar Lines and Solo: Friedman)
