In the beginning lives the end Can
the foe become your friend?
Easy answers there are none
though frightened grown ups search for one
In these broken bloody times
We need more than TV smiles
Behind the eyes the door is tight shut
Behind the makeup, just more makeup
When the pain is such, feelings turn to dust
Are there tears enough to wash all of us?

Chorus: I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm Seasons
come and seasons go That you love me
is all I need to know I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Hold my hand and time will show
That you love me is all I need to know
The message written on our walls
For the strong to climb: the weak must fall
This is heresy I guess
but could the strong perhaps learn to live with less
When the pain is such, feelings turn to dust
Are there tears enough to wash all of us?
When I need a friend, here you are again
You let me comfort you like only lovers do

As the birthdays come and go
The more I understand, the less I know
As the birthdays come and go Only one thing I know
