[Verse 1]

Father, may I be shown

The man I have inside?

Be shown the way to swallow my pride

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried (I tried)

To hide (To hide)

For the last time

[Chorus]

I cannot hide the state

Of my mind

I cannot free what's in me

It's hidden for all time

[Verse 2]

Mother, may I be shown

The right I have to cry?

Be shown the strength I have inside

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried (I tried)

To hide (To hide)

For the last time

[Chorus]

I cannot hide the state

Of my mind

I cannot free what's in me

It's hidden for all time

[Bridge]

Break me (Break me)

Shape and make me (Make me)

Give me strength that makes me "me"

(Give me strength, give me strength)

Break me (Break me)

Shape and make me (Make me)

Give me strength that makes me "me" (Give me strength, give me strength)

Break me

Shape and make me

Break me

Shape and make me

[Chorus]

I cannot hide the state

Of my mind

I cannot free what's in me

It's hidden for all time

It's hidden for all time
