Lost in an image like a ghost in time

In ceremony of a last goodbye

A lonely silhouette against a tortured sky

I saw her in a photograph

She stood there broken head in her hand

A moment caught in time my god how it's still haunting me.

Well they say that a pictures worth a thousand words

In the ache of an image I have seen the worst

Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard

Cause in times like these we must live and learn.

Where will I go when I can't right the wrongs

Who will I turn to where I don't belong

The things I took for granted way too long, oh...

There's so much left unsaid I cannot ignore anymore.

Well, they say that a pictures worth a thousand words

In the ache of an image I have seen the worst

Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard

Cause in times like these we must live and learn.

The image in my mind

A cause for reason

Haunts me day and night

Impermanence we find

Just like the seasons

We fade out in due time.

Well, they say that a pictures worth a thousand words

In the ache of an image I have seen the worst.

Well, they say that a pictures worth a thousand words

In the ache of an image I have seen the worst

Like a million screams for mercy that can't be unheard

Cause in times like these we must live and learn.

So I won't take for granted or speak out of turn

Cause in times like these we must live and learn

In times like these we must live and learn

In times like these we must live and learn.
