If I had a razor sharp enough
I'd cut myself clear
Of all the pieces of pain in my past
And I'd be free at last
If I had a razor sharp enough
And I could see the edges clearly too
I'd cut away the part that binds me to you
But I am blinded by my tears
And all my blades are dulled by passing years
And all my wishes cannot make it over now
I hope I have enough to make it through somehow

If I had a candle bright enough
To shine in my soul
And light the dark of the loneliness found
I'd find my way around
If I had a candle bright enough
And I could see the love I've lost inside
I'd have the courage to reach out instead of hide
But I am blinded by my tears
My candle's burned at both ends through the years
And all my wishes cannot make it over now
I hope I have enough to make it through somehow

Now I have a song that's strong enough
To see me through all
The lonely darkness and pain life will bring
And still have strength to sing
And I have a song that's bright enough
To light the path from yesterday to dawn
And give me courage to smile and still go on
Now I see clearly through my tears
My wits have grown much sharper with the years
And though my wishes cannot make it over now
I know I have enough to make it through somehow
