My Declaration Lyrics
Gonna be someone, gonna give something,
I'm taking it on, I'm taking it on,
It's gonna be my life, so I'm gonna live each day and each night,
Taking it on, I'm taking it on
'Cause I can't keep hiding, I can't keep hiding, I can't keep running away
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
I'm gonna be a braver soul than this,
I'm gonna jump at all those many chances that I've missed,
I'm gonna live my life beyond these fears and forms of cowardice that keep leading me on
I'm gonna shine out like a beacon in the night,
I'm gonna wrap my fingers round the stars tonight,
'Cause I'm taking it on, 'cause I'm taking it on...
I can't keep hiding, I can't keep hiding, I can't keep running away
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be understood and I'm gonna give everything
Just to bring me back again!
So I'm gonna be stronger and I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again...
'Cause I can't keep hiding, I can't keep hiding, I can't keep running away.
I'm taking it on, I'm taking it on,
It's gonna be my life, so I'm gonna live each day and each night,
Taking it on, I'm taking it on
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
I'm gonna jump at all those many chances that I've missed,
I'm gonna live my life beyond these fears and forms of cowardice that keep leading me on
I'm gonna shine out like a beacon in the night,
I'm gonna wrap my fingers round the stars tonight,
'Cause I'm taking it on, 'cause I'm taking it on...
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be understood and I'm gonna give everything
Just to bring me back again!
Just to bring me back again...
'Cause I can't keep hiding, I can't keep hiding, I can't keep running away.

This song is wonderful! It's about deciding to come out of the shadows and show the world that you're not afraid, that you can be anything you want to be. It's about finally stepping forward and living your life instead of dreaming of what you wish it could be.
I can't believe no one has commented on it yet!
and more extraordinary nobody has commented since either...? stunning song indeed. heard it first when i was in a dark place and, amongst other things of course, it really helped, sappy though that may sound, but hey. only criticism would be that his songwriting is stronger than his performing. on the one hand i wanted to share this with friends and say this is SUCH a great song, but on the other whilst it is indeed a fantastic song, his rendition is for me a little, dare i say it, 'wet'? hence i kept it to myself. this song is...

Eliza Bennett sings a cover version of this song during the credits of "Inkheart". She has a good voice and its an amazing song too.
