That time when you've taken all you could
Gone all out
Slodged through every step
Open'd your mouth to speak
Found you'd long lost your voice

Every fibre
Every strain'd muscle
Full shattered
And you think:
Let me numb myself to gentle sleep

But you know deep down you lie
The world's not seen the last of you
You've got fight still inside
And that ain't dying now
I will sing
Let the world listen
Because I am not alone
I am not alone
