[Lyrics]
I once knew this old man
Sitting on his rocking chair
Tellin' his children the story of his life
And I know, I'll be like him

Day by day, I hear those voices in my head
Saying I should be me, but they won't even dare
To take a second look
Of what they've been looking at all along

They tell me, that I should do what I want
They tell me, that I should reach for the stars
But they're contradictory
And they pull me down

So i dream that someday,
I'll walk those steps of success,
I'll walk proud, 
Doing this for myself.

They said, "Be free,
Don't lock yourself up in a cage made of whispers,
Unlock the chains that you have made for yourself,
And walk proud amidst the darkness".

Live off the light
That comes from the lamp post
Stand your ground,
Don't let them push you off
You're on the track you've dreamt of,
And your shadow have nearly gone.

So i dream that someday,
I'll walk those steps of success,
I'll walk proud, 
Doing this for myself.

I once knew this old man
Sitting on his rocking chair
Tellin' his children the story of his life
And I know, I lived like him.

LYRICS:
I hear happy lullabies
playing, every time she cries.
Broken, empty promises. 
Fears, all trapped in their cages.

You took away the only smile she can ever show,
all because you loved yourself, that's all you know.

You had it all, you had her heart.
She was wrapped around your finger right from the start.
I know you were afraid, but you had to run,
left her hurting, wondering what she's done.

They said blind emotions can never be trusted,
but why does she feel, feel so tested?
She was free falling in your command,
while you sat there, holding and emptying your hand.

You took away the only heart she's ever had,
all because you saw her scars behind her mask.

You had it all, you had her heart.
She was wrapped around your finger right from the start.
I know you were afraid, but you had to run,
Left her hurting, wondering what she's done.

They said: "You'll live a life with a man."
A man who'll love you, in any way he can.
You'll cross big oceans, and reach all mountains,
that's when you'll see,
you've lost her completely.

She sang her happy lullabies,
while he walks away and cries.
Healing all promises,
Freeing all fears in all cages.

Elude

Sometimes, when life gets too hard, we tend to forget the why's in the things we do because of all the obstacles, all the pain, and all the doubts. In these times, always remember the reason why you do things, why you live, and why you love and that's enough to keep you moving forward.

LYRICS:

I Won't Stop Myself

(Verse 1)
Take a look at what we have
All our books, some photographs 
Of all the things we've planned to see
All our wishes, destinies 

(Prechorus 1)
If we let them win right now
We may reach the end somehow 

(Verse 2)
I would give my all to see
These wonders where we could be
Together and we'll leave the world
of regret so please hear me

(Prechorus 2)
Just trust my words and we'll be
Back right home where hearts bleed

(Chorus)
It's okay to let go 
Of your fears just let me know
If youre troubled or your grief 
Has taken over all your dreams
I finally know what i would do
From now on I wont stop myself from loving you

(Verse 3)
You said "don't let these changes be
the only thing we would see"
I'd dive in oceans, climb tall trees
just to live a life with you

(Pre-chorus)
Just trust my words and we'll be
Back right home where hearts bleed

(Chorus)
It's okay to let go 
Of your fears just let me know
If youre troubled or your grief 
Has taken over all your dreams
I finally know what i would do
From now on I wont stop myself from loving you

(Bridge)
I won't stop myself, no
I won't stop myself 

(Chorus)
It's okay to let go 
Of your fears just let me know
If youre troubled or your grief 
Has taken over all your dreams
I finally know what i would do
From now on I wont stop myself from loving you
