REACHING OUT
DORJA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do I fit in your company
You claim you don't want me around
But I'll stay steady on the ground
I'm no-one but me
And I'll find my way
A place in the sun
I will see the light
And I will survive
Because you don't fight my fight
I'm reaching out, I'm breaking down
For you, you, you
I'm holding on, I'm longing for
The truth in you
I'm breaking down
Give me hope and I'll let go of fear
There's no place I'd rather be but here
50 reasons that I came here for
Take me as I am what you need me for
I will see the light
And I will survive
Because you don't fight my fight
