I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives All the people struggling down there Storms only come for a while Then after a while they'll be gone Blessed, blessed My father was working for the government as a police man Few years later a hardy joined a rebel movement that was formed to fight for freedom I didn't understand the politics behind all this cause I was only a child After a while I saw the tension rising high between the Christian and the Muslim regime We lost our possession My mothers, my mothers mothers suffered depression And because of this... I was forced to be a war child I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives (touch lives, touch lives, touch lives, touch lives, touch lives, touch lives, touch lives) I lost my father and mother in this battle All my life ive been hiding in the jungle The pain im cutting is too much to handle Whose there please till I... my candle Whose there anyone to hear my cry
