She sits him down in a stiff chair

Rubs his back and strokes his hair

Telling him it's okay to cry

But he just sits and stare

The merciless moon outside

Has nothing now he's come to realize

Only the desolation he feels

The cold distance inside.

But you and I now

We can be alright

Just hold on to what we know is true

You and I now

Though it's cold inside

Feel the tide turning.

While the priest just sits and weeps

Lamenting the fact that he can see

Darkness and light in so much detail

He has given himself over

Refusing what he knows to be real

He turns away from every meal

Starving himself of goodness

He doesn't think he can heal.

But you and I now

We can be alright

Just hold on to what we know is true

You and I now

Though it's cold inside

Feel the tide turning.

"What if I've lost all I had?"

Says the stranger to his dad

And the witness is confused

He can't tell what is bad

Instead he runs up to the nearest girl

And he comments on her glorious curls

Says, "darling come with me I'll show you a whole new world".

But you and I now

We can be alright

Just hold on to what we know is true

You and I now

Though it's cold inside

Feel the tide turning.

You and I now

We can be alright

Just hold on to what we know is true

You and I now

Though it's cold inside

Feel the tide turning.
