English
I was tired, I struggled
I suffered, I was lost
I’m taking hold of my life, I’m done, I’m getting up
I’m done, I’m getting up

My heart is ready
I’m aware and I accept
That it won’t be easy on this road I’m about to take
This road I’m about to take

Let me remember even if I make mistakes
I am precious
Let me remember that I have a reason
I am treasure
I have a purpose on earth

Take my hand toward healing
Take my hand toward peace
Take my hand toward calm waters
Take my hand to Isuarsivik
Take my hand to Isuarsivik
Take my hand to Isuarsivik

J'ai souffert, j'étais perdu
Je prends en main ma vie, c'est fini, je me lève
C'est fini, je me lève

Mon cœur est prêt
Je suis conscient et j'accepte
Que cela ne sera pas facile sur ce chemin que je m'apprête à emprunter
Ce chemin que je m'apprête à emprunter

Laisse-moi me souvenir même si je fais des erreurs
Je suis précieux
Laisse-moi me souvenir que j'ai une raison
Je suis un trésor

Prends ma main vers la guérison
Prends ma main vers la paix
Prends ma main vers des eaux calmes
Prends ma main vers Isuarsivik

Bullying, suicide, alcoholism, racism,

ALLISON
We play games and we talk a lot,
go for drives, go for walks to forget about the bad thoughts
Make friends and leave problems behind at the hangout shack

ABIGAIL(Abby)
If you’re pushed into doing bad stuﬀ
You can tell your friends, peer pressure adding up
How life can get so tiring, but it gets better meeting new friends
no more bullies, no more suicides time for us to rise up, you and I
We can make the whole world a better place
Just by spreading love, instead of all the hate

Help each other, love one another,
heal mother earth, watch us all recover

Leaving bad friends behind, looking for a better life
Doing sports and spending time with the ones I love
I cherish the memories, there is a light in me

EMMA
Hey Luke am I dreaming, I’m so mad at myself
I’ve tried to end it all so many times I battle myself
