(Ford, Ehmig) 

I found hunger in the fields of plenty 

I found freedom in a ball and chain 

I found madness in the voice of reason 

I found mercy at the hangman´s gate 

I´ve held the world in the palm of my hand 

And watched as it slipped through my fingers like sand 

Here I am alone again 



*Where do I turn 

When all I see around me is a lie? 

If I close my eyes 

Where will I find my heart tonight? 

I know all my dreams have fallen on hard times 

And I´m so cold inside 

Where will I find my heart tonight? 



I found peace in the heat of the battle 

I found treason in the eyes of a friend 

I found hate in the words of a preacher 

I found fortune in a beggar´s hands 

I close my eyes and pray for the light 

To guide my way 

Into the night, I fall 

And the world is crashin´ down around my soul 



*chorus

I have searched a thousand years 

Through the darkness and the tears 

And I don´t think I can take another night 

Without you here 



*chorus
