when I'm trapped in a nightmare and I can't escape
when my heart is shattered and can't be fixed with tape
when the voices in my head won't hush and it hurts to be alive
when it takes all I am and every ounce of energy to survive
when the shadows on my wall eat me up and drown me in fear
when I'm on the floor crying and breaking down is near
I turn to you and listen to your voice and the words you say
it doesn't ease my pain but it's enough to get me through the day
chorus
thanks to the music
I am still standing here
the sound of the music
it eases a bit of the fear
because of the music
I've gotten through so much
thanks to the music
I can feel God's touch
when reality and fantasy are hard to tell apart
when I feel empitiness take over deep inside my heart
when I think I can't take it anymore I've had enough
when I don't think that I can feel anyone's love
I listen to the music and I think of you
I listen to the music and it gets me through
the hurt I am feeling feels so hard to bear
but when I here the music I know that you are there
chorus
