Give Me Strength

Dido · Odds & Ends (Unreleased) [1995]

Sitting in the rain alone

Looking at a place that's gone

Boarding up my memories but something's drawn me here again

And I cannot leave the past alone



I hope that I would never find all the shit I left behind

Now I find the child in me is going to remind me

That I can't forget my past for long



So take a look outside yourself and tell me what you see

I can't believe that you won't see the change in me



Give me strength to fight the road that's lost in me

Give me time to heal and build myself a dream

And give me eyes to see the world surrounding me

And give me strength to be only me



I don't wanna hear the things you say

You know all you've redeemed

'Cause I can't change what's come before

I built myself some better dreams and cast off the fear that's held me here



So take a look outside yourself and tell me what you see

I can't believe that you won't see the change in me



Give me strength to fight the road that's lost in me

Give me time to heal and build myself a dream

And give me eyes to see the world surrounding me

And give me strength to be only me
