I found hunger in the fields of plenty I found freedom in a ball and chain I found madness in the voice of reason I found mercy at the hangman´s gate I´ve held the world in the palm of my hand And watched as it slipped through my fingers like sand Here I am alone again
*Where do I turn When all I see around me is a lie? If I close my eyes Where will I find my heart tonight? I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times And I´m so cold inside Where will I find my heart tonight?
I found peace in the heat of the battle I found treason in the eyes of a friend I found hate in the words of a preacher I found fortune in a beggar´s hands I close my eyes and pray for the light To guide my way Into the night, I fall And the world is crashin´ down around my soul
*chorus I have searched a thousand years Through the darkness and the tears And I don´t think I can take another night Without you here
