I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'll be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimmin' in a lake of fire

As a man I've found it's all caught up with me

It hides away and will never be heard of again

Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
