lyrics

I used to be the person that was depressed
I used to be the person that got no rest
I used to see the person i thought was dead
But now i see that i'm alive again

The pillars that i built, i watched them as they fell
But now i'm gonna rebuild them high again.
But this time i will fight,
To keep them standing tall
I will not have my back up against the wall.

I used to be the person that sought no help
I used to be the person all by his-self
I used to do things wrong and not one thing right
But now i see that hope has shined its light.

I'm not gonna die..
I will not meet demise
I'm gonna stand on my own two feet.
Watch me as i turn
Now a soldiers born
One that's gonna fight until the battles done

I used to be the person i thought was bad
But now i see the good things that i have.
