Paralyzed Lyrics

Doctor paused this life
He told me, "You won't fly
Canceled everything
You need some time to heal
And it may take a year
Reset the clocks again"

Is this the way life goes?

Everyone is singing their love songs
And I can't seem to find my own tune
I've been on the inside for so long
If they knew the truth

All of my plans have been silenced over night
All that I know is paralyzed

To learn to speak again
Amongst the frustration
How do I begin?
Oh, see, I will find my voice
Rebirth's the only choice
Will someone lend me a little patience?

It's just the way life goes

Everyone is singing their love songs
And I can't seem to find my own tune
I've been on the inside for so long
If they knew the truth

All of my plans have been silenced over night
All that I know is paralyzed
Is paralyzed

Is this the way that life goes?
It's just the way that life goes

A little time
A little hope
With a little light you'll never know
For a little space
For a lot of love
Close your eyes and think of
Better time, big dreams
Open your mind for you to find
A little strength inside
Stop and rewind
Just stop and rewind
Stop and rewind
With a little strength inside
Stop and rewind

Everyone is singing this love song
And I feel like I found my own tune
I was on the inside for so long
Now they know the truth

See, all of my plans, they were silenced over night
All that I know was paralyzed

(Everyone is singing this love song)
(And I feel like I found my own tune)
Was paralyzed
(I've been on the inside for so long)
(If they knew the truth)

With a little time
And a little hope
With a little light you'll never know
With a little strength inside
Stop and rewind
