all my life been holding on to nothing

all my hopes were castles in the sand

i've read words with no comprehension

i've had dreams i don't understand

here i am falling down

all i want is a comforting hand



giving the same as anybody out there

living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer

keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you

kicking the ground with every step that i take

letting you down with every promise i break

don't let go i'm making that change for you



time goes on to help you find the answers

why you're alive and where you go

life goes on but you don't stop to wonder

what there is that you still don't know

here i am growing old

i've got to hold that comforting hand



giving the same as anybody out there

living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer

keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you

kicking the ground with every step that i take

letting you down with every promise i break

don't let go i'm making that change for you
