I've lived in the dark
Protectin' my heart
Not lettin' anyone in
But somethin' inside
Is sayin' you shouldn't hide
It's time to let it begin
I've decided to show
The cracks in my soul
To turn it all inside out
I might have to fight
To get to the light
But I'm finally turnin' around
I'm facin' the sun
I'm not gonna run away
No apologies
Walk out on the wire
Step into the fire
I'm livin' honestly
Even if it burns
I'm facing the sun
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Whoa, I'm facin' the sun
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
When I broke through the walls
When it started to fall
I was afraid of the changes
Oh, but I caught a glimpse
Of the freedom within
Took the fear away to stand up and face it
I've decided to show
The cracks in my soul
To turn it all inside out
I might have to fight
To get to the light
But I'm finally turnin' around
I'm facin' the sun
I'm not gonna run away
No apologies
Walk out on the wire
Step into the fire
I'm livin' honestly
Even if it burns
I'm facing the sun
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm facin' the sun
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
The light, it's revealin'
It's healin'
Everywhere it shines
It uncovers, you'll discover
The darkness was a light
So open up your eyes
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Open up your eyes
I'm facin' the sun
I'm not gonna run away
No apologies
Walk out on the wire
Step into the fire
I'm livin' honestly
Even if it burns
I'm facing the sun
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm facin' the sun
(I'm not gonna run away, no)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm facin' the sun
