It takes all my strength
To close my eyes
And dream in a world of black and white
But I'll persevere
Even through the storm
Even though I'm torn
Nothing brings me down

I don't know my place yet in this life
So I'll keep searching

And, oh, the give and take
That's lost along the way
I'm swimming in the waters deep
And I'm drowning in the wake
But nothing can take
No, nothing can bring me down
Nothing brings me down

It takes all my strength
To close my eyes
And dream in a world of black and white
But I'll carry on
(I won't stop going after all that it takes to get there)
Through the wind and rain
Through the tears and pain
(No, my life will not end in pain)
Nothing brings me down

So give me some time, and give me some space
And I'll be gone without a trace
Been idling low, just waiting to go
And searching for my place
But nothing can break
No, nothing can bring me down
Nothing brings me down

It takes all my strength
To close my eyes
And dream in a world of black and white
…in a world without you
