Look back to a time and a world that I saw through the eyes of my youth Before I was taught to walk tall, to be strong, to believe in the truth But the note that was wrong in their song sang of me, mine and I And I carried it deep inside I give it every little beat of my heart Give it every single day that I start to find something simple and real Oh, I give it every little piece of my soul Give up every single bit of control To know how it feels to feel Pure They turn you around and around, chasing phantoms in empty facades And you keep hanging on to the words of their promises, lies and charades I'm walking past windows, reflections of someone like me But I don't recognize what I see I give it every little beat of my heart Give it every single day that I start to find something simple and real Oh, I give it every little piece of my soul Give up every single bit of control To know how it feels to feel Pure Like the rain from the heavenly skies Pure Tears streaming down from my eyes Pure Like a newborn baby's cries Now I'm starting to recognize Oh, I give it every little beat of my heart Give it every single day that I start to find something simple and real Oh, I give it every little piece of my soul Give up every single bit of control To know how it feels to feel Pure Pure
