| Now when you’re down and troubled
|
| Like orphan in a storm
|
| And you feel life’s weight upon you
|
| Your body’s cold and worn
|
| You know that there’s no mercy
|
| For a child without a home
|
| For the streets they hold no comfort
|
| For a nameless soul unknown
|
| And your life it lies before you
|
| Like a rainbow 'round the sun
|
| And the promised they made to you
|
| They always seem to get undone
|
| You’re fighting waves of vast indifference
|
| On the high and raging sea
|
| You are the captain of your destiny
|
| Nobody else can find the way for you to see
|
| When you can’t see the way before you
|
| For the darkness in your head
|
| Remember only you can lead yourself to be misled
|
| I’m standing by the wayside
|
| With all my scars from time
|
| Reading books of long gone heroes
|
| Who died between the lines
|
| I climb their walls of anger
|
| They build with words of stone
|
| Fighting on with tongue and dagger
|
| 'Til blood and truth are shown |
