Lyrics

Verse 1
Sitting down just the other day
Looking at my life in the same old way
(I)had to wonder about my mental health
All at once a thought came to me
and I felt myself floating free
“Just a silly dream” I told myself
Would I know the truth inside?
How would I know unless I tried?
I had to find my fear and look it in the eye

Chorus 1
When we can learn to face ourselves
Accept the truth within us all
Living in the present tense
sounds so simple
It all makes sense
When we can learn to face ourselves
Verse 2
Looking in the mirror
sometimes I see
my own worst enemy
trying to trip me up with past mistakes
so I close my eyes and start over again
Open up to my new best friend
telling me I have just what it takes
It all comes down to me
and the way I choose to be
I have to find my fear and look it in the eye

Chorus 2
When we can learn to face ourselves
Accept the truth within us all
Living in the present tense
sounds so simple
it all makes sense
When we can learn to face ourselves

Solo
Chorus 2
When we can learn to face ourselves
Accept the truth within us all
Living in the present tense
sounds so simple
it all makes sense
When we can learn to face ourselves
Living in the present tense
sounds so simple
it all makes sense
When we can learn to face ourselves
