I have cried a thousand times,
Asked why a million more...

Everybody takes a piece,
Few give in return...

Tomorrow's never promised,
Love me here now...

I knew at once I was dead,
Yet still I had breath...

Broken spirit,
Shining star...

Locked inside this cold, dark place,
Where nothing warms you through...

Lies have tainted all we knew
Friendship fallen...

Waiting here for true love,
Sitting here for joy...

Wisdom almost died today
My heart could find no beat...

Sitting on the outside,
Always looking in...

I see those rainbows forming,
Deep inside your eyes...

You stand alone, so sad and drawn,
My weeping willow of Babylon...
