A Life Within a Life lyrics

In the heart of youth, where dreams are bright Lies a hidden battle, out of sight A young life, a burden too heavy to hold A story of innocence, prematurely old Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart Choices made, in the blink of an eye Consequences unfold, as time goes by A future reshaped, with every tear that falls As the weight of the world, on slender shoulders calls Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart But within the storm, there's a strength that grows And a hope that shines, and ever glows For every challenge faced, there's a lesson learned And in the heart of the young, a fire burns Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart Oh, the silent cry in the dead of night The struggle unseen, out of the light A life within a life, too soon to start The brutality of youth, it breaks the heart
