Well I find myself in a mess, sir, down in the badlands
When I close my eyes to the ground, I can hear a song
I can listen to the voices of dead men
Saying to me: "kid, be a man, let it go"
And I know, yeah I know, I'm long gone...
As I'm lying tonight in the heartland, I can feel the wind blowing
All my dreams are sailing away, far away from me
I'm the ghost of my old memories
I am the fool whose friends fade away
And I'm alone, yeah I'm lonely, away from home...
So raise your hand, before your world grows
And show me your pain, show me your light, but don't let it go
Don't let it go
There's a world outside waiting for you, my only loved one
And I'll keep on playing your songs, til the break of dawn
But I fear that all's gonna change now
Just one last kiss, and no going back
Cause tomorrow, I'll see you again, on the other side
So raise your hand, before your world grows
And show me your pain, show me your light, but don't let it go
Raise your hand, before your heart grows
For once in this life, take me away to a place I'll never know
No sorrow tonight, just turn off the lights
Though my time has come to an end, I'll keep you around
