Lyrics

I found my self to day.

Oh, I (C)found my self and (C)ran a way.

shin ing all the time.

But some thing pulled me back,

a voice of (C)rea son I for (C)got I had.

(A7)All I know is, (Bb)you’re not here to say

what you (C)al ways used to say,

but it’s (Bb)writ ten in the sky to night.

So I (F)won’t give up,

no, I (C)won’t break down;

(Dm7)soon er than it (Fmaj7)seems, life (F)turns a round.

And I (F)will be strong, e ven if it (C)all goes wrong.

When I’m (Dm7)stand ing in the dark, I’ll still be lieve

(Bbsus2)some one’s watch ing o ver me.

I’ve seen that ray of light

and it’s (C)shin ing on my (C)des

ti ny,

shin ing all the time.

And I won’t be a fraid

to fol low (C)ev ’ry where it’s (C)tak

ing me.

(A7)All I know is, (Bb)yes ter day is gone

and right (C)al now I be long

but it’s (Bb)to this mo ment, to

my dreams.

So I (F)won’t give up,

no, I (C)won’t break down;

(Dm7)soon er than it (Fmaj7)seems, life (F)turns a round.

And I (F)will be strong,

e ven if it (C)all goes wrong.

When I’m (Dm7)stand ing in the dark, I’ll still be lieve

(Bbsus2)some one’s watch ing o ver me.

(F)some one’s watch ing o ver (F)me.

It does n’t mat ter what peo ple say and it does n’t mat ter how long it takes.

Be lieve in your self and you’ll fi

ind,

and it on ly mat ters how true you are.

Be true to your self and (C)fol low your heart.

So I (F)won’t give up,

no, I (C)won’t break down;

(Dm7)soon er than it (Fmaj7)seems, life (F)turns a round.

And I (F)will be strong,

e ven if it (C)all goes wrong.

When I’m (Dm7)stand ing in the dark, I’ll still be lieve

that I (F)won’t give up,

no, I (C)won’t break down;

(Dm7)soon er than it (Fmaj7)seems, life (F)turns a round.

And I (F)will be strong,

e ven if it (C)all goes wrong.

When I’m (Dm7)stand ing in the dark, I’ll still be lieve

that I
