Year gone past feels like one long day
 But I'm alive and I'm feelin' all right
 Well I run that hard road outta heartbreak city
 Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity
 It was all wrong well now I'm movin' on

 CHORUS
 Ain't no church bells ringing
 Ain't no flags unfurled
 Just me and you and  the love we're bringing
 Into the real world
 Into the real world

 I built a shrine in my heart it wasn't pretty to see
 Made out of fool's gold memory and tears cried
 Now I'm headin' over the rise
 I'm searchin' for one clear moment of love and truth
 I still got a little faith
 But what I need is some proof tonight
 I'm lookin' for it in your eyes

 CHORUS

 Well tonight I just wanna shout
 I feel my soul waist deep and sinkin'
 Into this black river of doubt
 I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
 And when the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide
 I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide

 Well tonight I just wanna shout
 I feel my soul waist deep and sinkin'
 Into this black river of doubt
 I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
 'Til the morning comes
 I'll stand right by your side

 I wanna find some answers I wanna ask for some help
 I'm tired of runnin' scared
 Baby let's get our bags packed
 We'll take it here to hell and heaven and back
 And if love ois hopeless hopeless at best
 Come on put on your party dress it's ours tonight
 And we're goin' with the tumblin' dice

 CHORUS
