1) So you speak to me in sadness and the coming of the winter,
2) Though the city starts to crumble and the towers fail a-round us
1) fear that is within' you know that seems to never end,
2) the sun is slowly fa-ding and it's colder than the sea
1) and the dreams that have es-caped you and the hope that you've for-gotten
2) it is written: From the de-sert to the mountains they shall lead us
1) and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend
2) by the hand and by the heart and they will comfort you and me.
1) and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason
2) In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free.
