Lyric Independence

it took some time
but now i can see my faults
and i ve made up my mind now
see how the water falls
it s so personal
that i could not come to terms wiht
the choices that i ve made
well, it seems i m here to stay...

the waves are strong
but they won t pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that s the strength i ve found
it s been a while
but i think i ve got it now
the waves are strong but they won t pull me
down

down on myself for doing things
i said i d never do, well
i ve made mistakes, yeah
all part of growing up its true
we see eye to eye
but there was no way for me to know
until i tried i ve seen the lies
i know which way to go

foget what i ve learned lear to forget
i never wanted this
i m happy with the way it was
with success that i have earned comes hatred
i never wanted this
i really never wanted this
down
the waves are strong
but they won t pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that s the strength i ve found
it s been a while
but i think i ve got it now
the waves are strong but they won t pull me
down
