WELL THIS MORNING WAS THE FIRST TIME
THAT I WOKE UP TO THE SUNSHINE
INSTEAD OF LYING IN THE SILENCE OF THE DARK
ALL THE SADNESS HASN'T LEFT ME
MY GLASS IS STILL HALF EMPTY
I'M NOT AT A PLACE WHEN I CAN TRUST MY HEART
BUT I WILL BE
YES I WILL BE
(CHORUS)
I WILL BE THAT INNOCENT BELIEVER
I WILL SEE FOREVER IN MY DREAMS
THERE'S STILL SOME HEALING LEFT
I'M NOT OVER YOU QUITE YET
BUT THIS VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD IS TELLIN' ME
THAT I WILL BE
THERE'S A FEW SMILES IN THE MIRROR
AND THE SKY'S A LITTLE CLEARER
I'M NOT TAKIN' MY UMBRELLA EVERYWHERE
AND THE PAIN THAT'S SLOWLY FADING
GIVES ME HOPE A NEW LIFE'S WAITING
AND LET'S ME KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL NOT THERE, THAT
I WILL BE
(2ND CHORUS)
I WILL BE LIVIN' FOR TOMORROW
I WILL SEE YESTERDAY IS GONE
THERE'S STILL SOME HEALING LEFT
I'M NOT OVER YOU QUITE YET
BUT THIS VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD IS TELLIN' ME
THAT I WILL BE
I WISH THAT I COULD SNAP MY FINGERS
AND THE PAST WOULD VANISH IN A PUFF OF SMOKE
RIGHT NOW THIS HEARTACHE WANTS TO LINGER
BUT I'M LEARNING TO FORGET
I'M STARTING TO LET GO
AND SOME DAY I KNOW
(3RD CHORUS)
I WILL BE OPEN TO FORGIVENESS
I WILL SEE THE GOOD IN WHAT WE HAD
THERE'S STILL SOME HEALING LEFT
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THERE QUITE YET
BUT THIS VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD IS TELLIN' ME
THAT I WILL BE
YES I WILL BE
