I feel like I'm losing hope, in my body and my soul
And the sky, it looks so ominous
And as time comes to a halt, sadness starts to overflow
My cries are inconspicuous

Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?

'Cause we're gonna shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I'd wish that some way, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing, my dreams will come to life
Come to life...

After all the laughter fades Signs of life all washed away
I can still, still feel the gentle breeze
No matter how hard I pray Signs of warning still remain
And life has become my enemy

Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?

'Cause we're gonna shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I'd wish that some way, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing, my dreams will come to life
Come to life...

'Cause we're gonna shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that some way, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl

Still we're gonna shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I'd hope that some way, somehow
That I can save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing, my dreams will come to life
Come to life...
