The Challenge
Empty Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No will to fight and a hanging head
Abandoned hope as it all seems pointless
But nothing will change if you live in regrets
I won't curse the past
If anything went wrong
Mistakes are a motivation
To move on Feeling sorry for myself
Will never change a thing
This life is a challenge
And I am willing to win
Just give me some reasons
And make me understand
Tell me what will change
If you bury your face in your hands
It's so easy to surrender
But a challenge to stand strong
Life might slow me down for a while
But can't keep me from moving on
I will move on
I will move on
