In Spite Of All


Sometimes you want to remember
Other times, it would be so much easier to forget
But the hurt doesn't change and the truth still remains...
In spite of our wanting
In spite of our longing

And a time will come to lay down your conscience
And to question all that you thought you believed
When your ego is bruised and bleeding, the truth still remains...
In spite of our wanting
In spite of our longing

When the tide has gone, after the moon has come calling
And she's left you with treasures strewn upon your shore
It's for you to see the meaning while others see
Grains of sand...
In spite of all they want
In spite of all they think they need
In spite of all you've done
In spite how much you've grieve
In spite of all you gave
In spite of how much you bleed
In spite of what was said
In spite of what you believe
