At All Cost - Step One Lyrics

""The things that we go through Are what it is that makes you. The hardships that we live Are the lessons that life gives. Well he comes home from school in fear. His mother screams and his father wreaks of beer. Dad's nothingness makes for clenched fists. But don't be scared 'cause I've been there. The broken home has helped to keep me strong. Don't give up; don't give in When you're the only one in this world And it feels like life's turned its back on you. I am here now and when You ever need a hand to reach out And hold on to you. I know what you're Going through Well she cries 'cause she's different. They point and laugh at her torment. But don't hide in shame 'Cause they're all the same. Against the grain has helped to keep me sane. Don't give up; don't give in When you're the only one in this world And it feels like life's turned its back on you. I am here now and when You ever need a hand to reach out And hold on to you. I know what you're Going through Don't give up; don't give in When you're the only one. I am here now If you ever need a hand. Open your arms to me. I'll help you if I can. Step one is that you can see. I'm here to understand you. Unbroken outspoken unbroken. Take my hand. I am here; hear with all ears. I'm here to understand""
