I never wanted you to feel this way
Somebody told you wrong
And now you've broken down inside this pain
A million miles from home
Give me time
I wanna lead you out
Give me time
I won't let you leave now
Yeah
I know the wolf's howling at your door
Says you're not strong enough
Telling you not to fight no more
I hope you don't give up
Give me time
There's so much more than this
Give me time
I'll show you how to live
Oh yeah
Give me time
I'll heal the pain you feel
Give me time
I'll show you love that's real
Give me time
You haven't gone too far
Give me time
To show you who you are
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Who you are is a dream awakened
When the past is gone
Who you are is a child of mercy
Held in the arms of love
Give me time
(Who you are is a dream awakened)
Give me time
Give me time
(Who you are is a child of mercy)
'Cause this is who you are
