Everybody loves a rose   Will you be thankful for the thorns?   Love is easy when you're loved   Do you curse another when you're alone?      Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again   Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting      You say live and let live   But people are dying everyday   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....      Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again   Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting      Humanity sees truth through shattered window panes   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      Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again   Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting      Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again      Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again   Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting      Paradigm...   Paradigm is shifting, is shifting... away, away...
