When the world around you comes crumbling down
And you choke on the ash of your dreams
When the list of reasons to take your life
Has grown to lengths of extremes
When you raise your iron fist of courage
Just to be thrown aside,
When you find someone you truly love
But from you they run and hide
When the mountain of life becomes to steep
And you trip and fall back down
When a loved one stabs you in the back
And your hope cannot be found
When your faith in god has grown so weak
And your prayers have been ignored
When you feel alone and so misread
No more pain you can afford
When you search inside your empty soul
For anything of worth
When you lose your way--you have been lost
Since the moment of your birth
When your weary-eyed beloved
Sheds one last dreadful tear
When you cannot take another step
You're petrified with fear
