lyrics

The devil inside me tried to speak
remembering times old times when I’d been weak
but with all the lessons I have learned
I chose to face the sun
I figured I was near my best
climbing mountains and headed for success
What happened next I’d no control
I’m left here filling my soul
I filled this hole before
I paced empty floors
knocked down the doors and proudly wore my scars
in the eye of the storm
I defied all the odds
I chose to face the sun. I chose to face the sun
I have grown I am strong
and I got myself right back where I belong
won the wars within my soul
how god only knows
I filled this hole before
I paced empty floors
knocked down the doors and proudly wore my scars
in the eye of the storm
I defied all the odds
I chose to face the sun, I chose to face the sun
And there I heard birds sing
saw morning dews and felt spring
I waited for the sun to rise
and searched for golden skies
my story’s just begun
I chose to face the sun
my journey s just begun
I chose to face the sun
with all the battles I have won
I will choose to face the sun
