lyrics

I'd still be fighting crime
In a bargain bin comic book
Always knowing I'd win
Always willing to leap before I look

Never losing
Never growing
Never learning
Never knowing

I'd still be black and white
I'd still just be a cartoon hero

If I hadn't been canceled

I would never have loved
Better, as they say, to have loved and lost
I would never have learned
Justice is done only when you know the cost
And the music
Beautiful music
Screamed all my life,and I
Never knew a voice could do that
And the spirit inside
So much more power when your heart is your guide

So I had to be canceled
For the Reader to try to show me
Who I could be if I learned from mistakes
Who I could be if I let my heart break

If not for love
- If not for the Reader
If not for love
- I couldn't have loved her
If not for love
- If not for the spirit
If not for love
- I couldn't have saved her
If not for love
- If not for Ana
If not for love
- I couldn't have saved them
If not for love
I couldn't have found my way home

So thanks to the Reader
For giving back my life

Thanks to the spirit
For giving me all the strength I need

Thanks to Ana
For giving me so much more to feel

I know who I am and I'm alive

Life never felt like this
Maybe I never really lived before
My spirit sees in color now
A million vivid hues
A world of peaceful yellows
Fiery reds
And sometimes deepest blues

And it is so beautiful
Even sadness cannot take the joy away
I can never do enough to show you
But I hope that you can hear me say
How much I have to thank you for
Life never felt like this before
