she offered me passion when I said I had none of my own she offered me hope and dreams when I said I was stripped to the bone she said it is dreams that will make you strong and it's your hope that will keep you here it's your passion that helps you hold on chorus: and you will bear witness to it all you will bear witness to it all you will bear witness to it all go on and turn your face but do not avert your eyes go on and hold your tongue if you must but don't let it turn you to ice 'cause if you don't look it still goes on and if you don't speak then who knows you're here and who'll make that right from wrong? chorus she said look at the stars in the darkness can't you feel why we're here look at the sun on the water could our truth be any more clear she told me don't be afraid to be silent don't be afraid to be big and loud don't be afraid to walk softly don't be afraid to be proud she said dance with all of your being cry your most passionate tears hold your life like the treasure it is and let it go without fear chorus
