You can trace things to your hometown
Those deadly New York streets
Every morning came the same sounds
And the tears still stain your cheeks
Sometimes you feel like talking
Sometimes your head hangs low
Sometimes your spirit's walking
But I don't know where it goes
I need to stay with you
But I don't know what to do
Lift yourself up high
'Cause I'll only stay 'till your tears are dry
My dreams came by too clearly
Your car ran off the road
Your body there was burning
And I believed it when I awoke
This aching fear you're feeling
Kills your will to win
Lost time is something tragic
But to waste it is a sin
I need to stay with you
But I don't know what to do
Lift yourself up high
'Cause I'll only stay 'till your tears are dry
You just need inspiration
To revive your tired mind
To heal the devastation
But this is not my war to fight
You won't know what to do
When I say that I've outgrown you
And I'll be on my knees
When you say that you've outgrown me
