It's no secret I've been down and out It's no secret at all I've been fightin' shadows off my back To learn how to walk I must crawl Lies will heal all my wounds No matter how deep or wrong It's no secret I've been losing touch It's no secret, it's no secret at all And so here you find me I stand before you and your peers It's no secret at all Judge me, but only if you dare I stand before you I stand before you without a care There's no reason that I stand and shout There's no reason at all I find myself in a cold, hard, world I feel that I don't belong Time will break all the rules No matter how true or how strong There's no reason that I cry out loud There's no reason, there's no reason at all And so you find me here I stand before you and your peers Judge me, but only if you dare I stand before you I stand before you without a care And so you find me, stand here beside me Don't dare deny me, I'm not the mighty Its no secret, it's no secret at all I've been fighting, I've been learning to crawl Lies, will heal all wounds No matter how deep or wrong It's no secret I've been losing touch Its no secret, it's no secret at all It's no secret at all And so you find me here I stand before you and your peers Judge me, but only if you dare I ask no mercy not a tear And so you'll find me without a care There is no darkness that I fear I stand before you I stand before you
