Verse 2 (Same tune as verse 1)

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squandered weath that's mine
My light will shine
So brightly, it will blind you
Because there's something inside so strong etc...
