Lost touch, long ago, It didn't end so well, I know Lashed out, had a row Don't know where home is for you now Your drink should not have stayed undrunk You should have drunk it down with your prayers I showed no mercy to you then No mercy when Chorus A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut the skin 'till we bled A glass unkissed by human lips A glass untouched by human hands A glass unbroken cut us both 'till we bled Lost all in the end Threw out the suffering of a friend Let's hope life is kind And will deliver peace of mind Forgive this crazy one Her crazey time in hell She keeps her silence now And means you well Chorus |

I look for comfort in the arms of every friend that I have known, I long for poetry to sweep away the clouds above my soul. I let myself believe that these will be my saviours till the end. And so, on them I depend. On them I depend. Chorus Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing I won't swallow To stop what's eating up my brain And get my feeling back again I hear tortured voices buried deep inside of my head, I have restlessness and anger as a pillow for my bed. I hope it won't be long ¡®til I can prove myself to be Untarnished by what's followin' me What is followin' me? Repeat chorus What of the prayers that seek to comfort one who's losing her love, What of her mother's cries that surely she has suffered enough. And when he's gone where is the justice in a child that knows his name As a photo in a frame A picture in a frame Repeat chorus Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing she won't swallow To stop what's eating up her brain And get my feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing we won't swallow To stop what's eating up our brain And get our feeling back again Where is the drug? Where is the healing? Where is whatever will ease this pain? There is nothing they won't swallow To stop what's eating up their brain And get their feeling back again |

Shake your beads out, One by one And call me Magdalene It won’t grieve me I understand Where it is you’re coming from Draw a curtain Close your eyes When history’s pages fail you. I will not open up those history books That’s not for me to do. Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight Precious little in your life Is yours by right And won without a fight. Shadows call me, In the wind Some don’t go away Angels guide me From the clouds In everything I do and say Shake your beads out Kneeling down It will not pass me by Two people coming from a different place Maybe neither one is right. Repeat CHORUS Shake your beads out Join your hands That still won’t make you right Those so-called sinners that you’re praying for Are standing by your side Repeat CHORUS Repeat CHORUS |

In case of loving unreturned Unrequited fingers burn Don't you blame yourself at all There is no blame,there is no crime This madness happens all the time No one there to break your fall I understand how hard it's been I've been there too and I have seen What running after love can do That feeling deep down in your soul That searing,empty,gaping hole Has dug a hole in my life too My darling,my darling So crazy,so charming It's just that it happened too soon But I send you my wishes My hugs and my kisses And whisper a prayer to the moon In case you've lost your faith in life In case you cannot sleep at night Be certain this will take it's toll I recognise those waves of pain I've known them time and time again And would not wish them on a soul Repeat CHORUS In cases lying by your door A life is packed to go once more There was no intent to deceive Please bear no grudge,just bear your soul It's hardly bearable to go And barely possible to leave My sweet tempered angel I wish I were able To heal all the hurt with a tune And if I had the powers I would give you the stars The sun and the light of the moon Repeat CHORUS Repaet CHORUS I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer I whisper a prayer to the moon |

The black and white Is clear to see It's shades of grey Are puzzling me Shades of feeling like My body's buried deep, Half asleep, half asleep. It's a very deep hole, With very steep sides, I can't climb out I'm trapped inside It's a very deep hole, With very steep sides I can't climb out Lord knows I've tried, But I'm trapped inside You know I've tried, But I'm trapped inside. What is it with me, I make no sense Why is it I talk in future tense. When I'm s'posed to sing My voice it goes to shout "Can't break out, I can't break out". Repeat CHORUS All my climbing up has me nowhere, All of this can get too much to bear All I'm tryin' to do is mend this beat up heart That's a start, that's a start. |

I wasn't the kind to ask questions I wasn't the kind had the time, I wasn't the kind with a suspicious mind Now I'm kind of sorry, oh how I'm sorry It's not what you did has me sleepless It's not what you did has me aching so much, It's not what you did that is hurting the most It's the lies that you told, covering up CHORUS Please, please don't say how much you think of me Please, please don't say how much you cared Please, don't say that you'd never lie to me Spare me those lies you've prepared. I'm not above feeling foolish I'm not above being betrayed I'm not above, singing stories of love, But God how my stories have changed It's not what you did has me sleepless It's not what you did has me aching so much It's not what you did that is hurting the most It's lies that you told me, those lies that you told me.

Keep the weatherman sweet, Then begin sweeping the driveway. News is that the heat's Coming in, Thursday or Friday. Now I'm a little slow to see How weatherman's words are gonna satisfy me Words can change my point of view Only if they prove to be true Seven inches of rain, I believe it's gonna get wetter Seven days of the week. Hopes are high it's gonna get better Now, I'm not in the hoping game That's a kind of a pity and a bit of a shame But hope can be a two-edged sword And a luxury that I just can't afford Twelve days, snow would spread the cold around Twelve days heat would melt the snow on the ground Twelve days sun is what I'm looking for now Twelve days grey what's in store. Keep the weatherman sweet Then go off, buy an umbrella Go and wait for the sun Go and dream beautiful weather I'm much too old for dreams Now that's a little bit sad, But not as sad as it seems When dreams have been a thorny crown It's not so sad when they're tumblin' down Repeat CHORUS |

Fire's burn, turning into dust
What was precious, what was pretty paradise Fire's turn, burning to the ground. What was healthy what was holy, what was life. If you think it's hot now, If you hate that heat You think it's bad now, wait and see, You think it's close now as you sleep within your bed. Check out the fire Check out the fire Check out the fire overhead. Children grow, playing with their toys Acting out their fairytales in play Children play, growing with the noise Of television teaching them the way, And while you're sometimes scared now If you see the flames You think the smoke's from far away, You read the papers, saying the fire will not spread Repeat CHORUS Sweet the light, glowing neon blue Of havens offering shelter from the storm Sweet the sound, crackling in the grate Of firelight, welcoming and warm But if you think it's safe now, If you feel at ease Your safety's hanging from a thread Before you're happy, having locked your doors at night Repeat CHORUS |

Smells of toast and coffee served to put in mind his name today Never did take much to get me thinking about him anyway In time I may progress to welcoming the coffee’s scent At present I have no such strength. Is there no poetry, no melody to comfort me, To blur these images, etched upon my memory. My stereo is where I go to let the sunshine in, But every note’s like one from him. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go, All that surrounds me Won’t let him go. If falling rain could only wash away my memories Then I would welcome rain and never let it bother me From my windowsill I’d watch the drops and then begin To picture him soaked to the skin. All that surrounds me, Won’t let him go All that surrounds me Won’t let him go Won’t let him go Won’t let him go. |

I felt anticipation early in the spring
I looked forward to the riches it would bring I smiled the day it led my heart to you It seemed like the world was smiling too We laughed and drank and sang in summertime I felt your body always close to mine Our love was so exciting and so new It seemed like the world was lauging too Things got colder when the autumn came along But we straightened out the things that had gone wrong As the leaves displayed their ever changing hue It seemed like the world was changing too The winter brought the rain and then the snow And I cried out loud the day I saw you go I didn't really know quite what to do It seemed like the world was crying too I felt happiness inside when you were near I'd feel a surge of tenderness when you'd appear I feel so messed up now that I'm not with you It seems like the world is messed up too |

In her imagination
She's driving through the sunshine To Malibu No children in the backseat No husband at the wheel No telling where she's going Just followin' the highway To where it leads Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this She looks out of her window Water from the dishes Running down the drain Clouds on the horizon Reflections of the pane Serve only to remind her Of how it is and how it might have been Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this She's standin' on the corner The suitcase in her hand Filled with promises It's not about unfaithful It's not about unkind It's just some words they're missing Some other words they left somewhere behind Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this Dreamin' of leaving That's all it is Dreamin' of something More than this |

Walk down the road eyes on my feet
Out of the window came an easy beat A love song hit me like a bolt out of the blue Made me realise for the first time ever We've never been apart, every second we're together It dawned on me, hey babe, has it dawned on you? Like Bogey and Bacall Scarlett and Rhett A little like Romeo and Juliet And some other couple we ain't heard of yet We're crazy and madly and deeply and truly and wildly and easy in love Like me and you Me and you Ordering in, tuning out Always having so much we can talk about Lying 'round in pajamas in the middle of the afternoon Knowing what you're thinking just before you think Saying it all with a nod and a wink Turning out the light and switching off the evening news Like Bogey and Bacall Scarlett and Rhett A little like Romeo and Juliet And some other couple we ain't heard of yet We're crazy and madly and deeply and truly and wildly and easy in love Like me and you Me and you Hold my hand and look into my eyes Babe you're all I've needed Now I got you by my side Like Bogey and Bacall Scarlett and Rhett A little like Romeo and Juliet And some other couple we ain't heard of yet We're crazy and madly and deeply and truly and wildly and easy in love Like Bogey and Bacall Scarlett and Rhett A little like Romeo and Juliet And some other couple we ain't heard of yet We're crazy and madly and deeply and truly and wildly and easy in love Crazy and madly and deeply and truly and wildly and easy in love Like me and you Like me and you Like me and you Like me and you |

I sit and stare at you and wonder, how I'd feel if you weren't here
I think you're scared of going under, so much more than you appear It's not that I would be more capable than you would I'd go on, that I know I just wonder how my life would be without you, So do you I suppose, So do you I suppose, It leaves me wondering if you love me, It leaves me wondering if I care It leaves me wondering if you love me, and it leaves me wondering if I care Common decency requires me not to act on how I feel, Common sense conspires to warn me to behave in spite of me, So I impose on you the thoughts that lie within me Be they mine Be they yours Trying to guess what you are thinking when you're silent But I can't be sure, No I can't be sure It leaves me wondering if you love me, It leaves me wondering if I care It leaves me wondering if you love me, and it leaves me wondering if I care Do I care? Are we so beyond repair? Or is everything okay? When I leave it up to you You don't tell me either way It leaves me wondering if you love me, It leaves me wondering if I care It leaves me wondering if you love me, and it leaves me wondering if I care It leaves me wondering if you love me, It leaves me wondering if I care It leaves me wondering if you love me, and it leaves me wondering if I care |

When I wake from dreaming
In the middle of the night You're asleep and yet you say In your own sweet silent way That everything's alright And your hair is lying 'Cross the pillow by my head You're unconscious to the night You can't talk but that's alright Let your breathing speak instead I hear you breathing in You breathe out on my skin That's when I begin To know you're near me I don't turn on the light I don't need to use my eyes The heartbeat by my side Tells me you're here with me My senses can deceive me When I'm sleepy and confused from my heavy eyes I see Only darkness around me My dreams long since excused Then my thoughts go racing Through the cloisters of my brain In those midnight hours I find That you hypnotise my mind With your soothing pulse again I hear you breathing in You breathe out on my skin That's when I begin To know you're near me I don't turn on the light I don't need to use my eyes The heartbeat by my side Tells me you're here with me |

Save a little of your energy
Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? You must be moved by something that you see Strains of magic in the moonlight hours Render useless all your earthly powers Souvenirs of childhood haunt your face It must be that they've fallen from your grace And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes, sometimes Subtleties betray you everywhere That's a secret you forgot to share Like how auburn still brings out your guilty streak And seemingly it adds to your mystique Moody silhouettes you soon replace With swarmps of passersby that flood your space Your superficial scars you can conceal There are others left with wounds that will not heal And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? |

It isn't quite love
it isn't quite romance But what ever it is It's worth a chance And if we close our eyes We can always pretend If it's not love, That's not the end It isn't quite love I cannot deny But still here it is It's worth a try And if I expected more Life doesn't work that way So if it's not love That's quite okay. How often have we cried, for love that died Our tumbled pride on the floor So let's take care, of our affair And let's not dare ask for more It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance Still, here it is It's got to be worth a chance Let's close our eyes Let's pretend It's not quite love, You're quite a friend It's not quite love But it's worth a chance |

And kept her secret locked inside But it was true And what could she do At first she cried, but in the end She knew she'd cope, and she had friends She'd see it through She'd love it too Leave her now Leave her now She'll be back on line, give a little time So leave her now Leave her now She'll make it through some how She'll be back in style, with a little smile But leave her to be For a while She reads what everyone has said And hangs the cards, beside the bed It dulls the ache She lies awake At first she cried, but in the end She knew she'd cope, and she had friends So she was strong And life goes on and on and on Leave her now Leave her now She'll be back on line, give a little time So leave her now Leave her now She'll make it through some how She'll be back in style, with a little smile But leave her to be For a while Then leave her to be, for a while Leave her to grieve for her child |

I heard music lighting up my darkness
I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine Now who could fail To let it touch the honesty, within them And who could help But be comforted inside It took a harmony to heal the bad times It took a rythem to release the sunshine Even then, it took me so long To break the silence I'd resigned my life to To break down barriers I'd shut my eyes to Releasing me from all that was wrong Now I don't try To understand the way it moves my spirit That is why S'pose I'll never know How a subtle change of key Can do these things to me And make me feel, like I feel I heard music lighting up my darkness I felt the phrase melt away my sadness A melody as potent as wine I let it sweep me out of my depression I let it point me in a new direction Breathing hope on this life of mine |

He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray
He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch And with his second sight He steals away the lonesomeness of night It seems that heaven's looked on me and smiled It sent the sun in place of candlelight Tumbled out my wildest dreams Tossed away my worst Has heaven sent a blessing or a curse He talks to me, but nothing does he tell He talks, but keeps his secret safe and well Still I cannot help but reach for him With these helpless hands of mine So I hug him close and pray to God he's mine He comes to me and sets my thoughts astray He comes to chase the midnight blues away He's sweet to taste and strong to touch I find myself inclined To hug him close and pray to God he's kind I hug him close and pray to God he's kind |

I find myself, a little bewitched by you I find myself, a little begulied I find my friends repeating your name Then I find myself doing the same Chorus: Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind I praise myself, for having made a life alone I praise myself, for working so hard I give my praise where praise is due I'm swapping that praise in praise of you Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my mind It seems that I have taken quite a shine to you And its seems that I'm in a mood to seduce It seems that you have read my mind Must be that we're the loosing kind Finding myself lost again Finding myself lost again losing myself by what I find Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my Finding myself loosing my mind |

(Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As onlv a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know The tears that drip From my bewildered eyes Taste of bitter sweet romance You're still in my hopes You're still on my mind And even though I manage on my own (Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know When restless eyes Reveal my troubled soul And memories flood my weary heart I mourn for my dreams I mourn for my wasted love And while I know that I'll survive alone (Chorus) My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know My heart is low, my heart is so low As only a woman's heart can be As only a woman's, as only a woman's As only a woman's heart can know |

He use to send her flowers To apologise, to apologise He used to say how sorry he was And flash his smile, he'd flash his smile And always she'd forgive him 'Cause he'd mean it for a while And then he'd send her flowers To apologise, to apologise It wasn't that he meant her harm I realise, I realise It's just that life had taken him By surprise, by surprise At times he knew he'd failed her At times he really tried When times were worst he did his best To compromise, to comprise I told her once he'd break her heart But that wasn't true, wasn't true 'Cause broken things can be repaired And held onto, held onto But her heart had been shattered The pieces lay inside In fragments much TOO tiny To recognise, to recognise I look now at the weariness That lies in his eyes, in his eyes And who AM I to lay the blame Or criticize, or criticize He's sorry that he's living He's sorry he's alive He's sorry of the need To apologise, to apologise He's sorry of the need To apologise, to apologise |

Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? You must be moved by something that you see Strains of magic in the moonlight hours Render useless all your earthly powers Souvenirs of childhood haunt your face It must be that they've fallen from your grace And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes, sometimes Subtleties betray you everywhere That's a secret you forgot to share Like how auburn still brings out your guilty streak And seemingly it adds to your mystique Moody silhouettes you soon replace With swarmps of passersby that flood your space Your superficial scars you can conceal There are others left with wounds that will not heal And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes And the rage burns inside Like a cage, thats open wide Empty now but once it held The boundaries of your mind Privacy and loneliness They overlap sometimes Save a little of your energy Spend a little of your time with me What is it that holds you here to me? |

I'm out of my league I've done it again Can never tell where, can never tell when Just when I swore, I'd had enough Electricity's flying and I'm lit up And I know And I know And I know I know I've been through this before Here I go, here I go, here I go Here I go again, You're on my mind I want to feel you put your hands through my hair I want to feel a little fun in the air, we can share All I need is just a piece of you time And well maybe a bottle of wine If it's early we can go on the town If you want to we can stay at home and just settle down Either way I need a piece of your time And it's mine, And it's mine, And it's mine They're widening their eyes They're looking askance They're saying is this some new romance?

It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance But what ever it is It's worth a chance And if we close our eyes We can always pretend If it's not love, That's not the end It isn't quite love I cannot deny But still here it is It's worth a try And if I expected more Life doesn't work that way So if it's not love That's quite okay. How often have we cried, for love that died Our tumbled pride on the floor So let's take care, of our affair And let's not dare ask for more It isn't quite love it isn't quite romance Still, here it is It's got to be worth a chance Let's close our eyes Let's pretend It's not quite love, You're quite a friend It's not quite love But it's worth a chance |

Sleeping close in sweetness Intimate in doubt A little piece of rope around To stop us falling out And through the closed curtains A copper coloured light And wine glasses From last night Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel.... Cigarette smoke drifting up To hanging plants behind Particles of honesty And tenderness entwined Things with you are different now And I can feel the strain What is it that protects you from this pain? Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel.... With the days that lie ahead me I'm hungry to remain Still I know it's best to go 'Cause nothing's going to change Eyes that held so much for me Are holding things from me now Like the harmonies That life will not allow Is it so forgotten? Does it run so deep Is it so forgotten? Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep Like the promises we keep I feel so broken Feel so broken I feel so broken I feel.......... |

Something came along And stopped me right in my tracks I??d tell you what it was But I can??t be exact II But it filled me with strength And it held me intact When it blessed me with courage And shamed me to act III I??m unable to establish The moment in time When swallowed in rhetoric And dressed up in rhyme IV I went and faced the music And all that entailed The right on my side gave Wind to my sails CHORUS When it??s time, let it go, You??ve got to let it go. When the time has come, you have to let it go V You took me for granted You took me for mad And you know you took advantage Of the trust that I had VI It shocked me to notice The mess I was in It hurt me to find out The fool that I??d been VII I know you always Underestimated me There??s more to this girl Than the girl (that) you see VIII You thought that when you??d gone I??d be fallin?? apart But there??s more to this woman Than a woman??s heart But there??s more to this woman Than a woman??s heart REPEAT CHORUS IX There??s a time to be faithful There??s a time to be brave I was trying to rescue Struggling to save X Every little piece of What was left to me here Every little shred Of all I held dear XI Until piece by piece And bit by bit I gathered them together And I made them all fit XII Until standing tall And feeling strong I??m facing the future And my life goes on And then life still goes on REPEAT CHORUS |

Is his hair still as long? Are his eyes still as blue? Can his face still conceal Every clue to his mood? Does his brow still display Every beat of his heart? Did he ask after me? Did you send my regards? Or did you tell him that I've died in every way that matters? And did you tell him how I cry with every day that passes? That I am raw and bruised and torn That I can't function any more Well, did you tell him that? II Well I'd tell him myself But I don't have the nerve And I know, to my shame, This is all I deserve But I hope for my sake You were not indiscreet If he asked how I was, Hope you lied, through your teeth MIDDLE 8 And if he didn't want to know Oh, my friend, don't tell me that Did you never speak my name?

Cafe windows, street lamps
Neon lights ablaze that shine all over town In brilliant conversation, with somebody new He's out there showin' 'round Please, heart, you're killing me I'm lost among the faces Where a sideways glance says romance on a whim Pretty boys with blue eyes Smilin' stylin' just reminding me of him Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me Can't go out at night Can't stay here at home Can't go anywhere Cause he'll be there Can't get out of bed Can't get any sleep Can't do anything What does he care? Does he care? Everywhere I turn, I see The past jump out in front of me "hello" Someone's got it in for me This whole damn town has secrets I don't know Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me Four a.m. I brave the cold The garbage trucks are on a roll, "surprise", A vision through the subway steam I see him and I can't believe my eyes Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me You're killing me You're killing me You're killing me Stop killing me |

When I asked you how you'd been You told me you were fine But I knew it was a lie Because I could see the lines Of tiredness on your brow And the tension in your eyes II Yet to another's face There would have been no trace Of trouble in your day To one who'd never seen The shadow of your dreams Or the strangeness of your ways CHORUS To one who didn't know you Or want to touch and hold you To one who didn't need you Who'd never learned to read you To one who didn't love you, Wasn't aching just to hug you You'd look fine To one who didn't know your crazy mind You'd look fine. III I knew you'd have a friend Waiting in the bar 'Cause that's the way you are She looked like she was kind And spoke with strength of mind That had served her well so far. But I hoped that she was tough And wouldn't hurt too much When you'd decide to go And I swear I almost died When I saw in her eyes The image of my own.

He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told Johnny's looking 'round the bar For a dance Once he sets his eye on Sally She doesn't stand a chance Though the lines that he's rehearsed Pass her by When he asks her for a date She says, Friday would be fine.

My home town's dear to me, it's always in my sight (but) My city's shadows walk around in broad daylight They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes So now you pay for civil liberty with life So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid II You must not ever stop the search for peace within Cause if you find it, there's no better prize to win In losing peace of mind you're losing everything Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid III With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside The very nature of a beast we tried to hide With all the ugliness this city has to fight How could we leave it to a mother and a wife? So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid We must not be afraid We must not be afraid But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be We must not be afraid We must not be afraid |
