Comes  a time when the blind-man  takes your hand,
 And says "Don't you see?
 Gotta make it somehow  on the dreams  you still believe."
 Don't give it up,  you got an empty cup
 Only love can fill,
 Only love can fill.
Been  walking all morning went  walking all night
I  can`t see much difference  between the dark  and light
And  I feel the wind And  I taste the rain
Never  in my mind  to cause  so much pain.
 Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand,
 And says "Don't you see?
 Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
 Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
 Only love can fill,
 Only love can fill.
 From day to day just letting it ride.
 You get so far away from how it feels inside.
 You can't let go cause you're afraid to fall,
 But the day may come when you can't feel at all.
 The words come out like an angry stream.
 You hear yourself say things you could never mean.
 When you cool down you find your mind.
 You got a lot of words you've got to stand behind.
 Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand,
 And says "Don't you see?
 Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe."
 Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
 Only love can fill,
 only love can fill,
 Only love can fill,
 Only love can fill.

Don't give it up, you got an empty cup
Only love can fill,
only love can fill,
Only love can fill,
Only love can fill.
