When you came back I knew you'd have a story

You need someone to ease the pain of living life

You're like a soldier in the fray, seeking shelter

from all the madness that you've seen raining down now



I know things change, your world has slipped away

I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late



When you were naive you were so invincible

and you laughed at anyone and anything that ever got in your way

But now the mirror shows the change and you don't see that

you're sinking back into the crowd, an echo fading



I know things change, your world has slipped away

I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late



And I never thought I'd see

you living on your knees

A slave to some disease

that holds you captive



And you can look inside of me

but the answers that you seek

and everything you need

is all inside you



I know things change, your world has slipped away

I know things change, but you're living like a soldier who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith, it's not so cold, it's not too late
