[Verse 1]
With the will to be free
In this land of the living
You can learn from the lessons that I
Write down and place at your feet
Is it hard to believe?
We're not hidden by numbers
If you take the advice that is preached
A promise to keep unto me

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you open your eyes
You can bring out the truth in the lies
Feel the air that you breathe
And find out the path that's meant to be

[Chorus]
Don't throw it away, wasting in time
Keep searching for the light
You're paving a way in through these eyes
Like a candle in the night
Be a shooting star
Until you reach the moon
And when the light is gone
The truth will guide you home
[Verse 2]
To live is to be
With a need to feel wanted
To strive for acceptance with pride
To feel you can stand on your feet
To make a mistake
And learn to feel broken
And with the acceptance inside
You'll give out much more than you'll take

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you open your eyes
You can bring out the truth in the lies
Feel the air that you breathe
And find out the path that's meant to be

[Chorus]
Don't throw it away, wasting in time
Keep searching for the light
You're paving a way in through these eyes
Like a candle in the night
Be a shooting star
Until you reach the moon
And when the light is gone
The truth will guide you home
[Bridge]
Don't throw it away, wasting in time
Searching for the light
Paving a way in through these eyes
Like a candle in the night
The time has come
To make your peace
For what's begun
Will bring release inside

[Chorus]
Don't throw it away, wasting in time
Keep searching for the light
You're paving a way in through these eyes
Like a candle in the night
Be a shooting star
Until you reach the moon
And when the light is gone
The truth will guide you home
