Miriam tell me youre all right

 Youve been sitting at the bar the entire night

 I know its been another long day

 But you can only drink away your pain

 For a moment until it comes back to claim you again

 

 You try to walk on

 In a world that you dont understand

 Whenever you fall just look above

 Ill be there to take youre hand

 

 Somehow when we get together its all right

 We look past the memories of the hard times

 And into the present where we carry on

 

 You work hard but you cant even pay your bills

 And everyone just wants to watch you fail

 Searching for symbolical signs

 Praying for a change in your state of mind

 While hope is deferred

 And to the righteous way you go blind

 

 You try to walk on

 In a world that you cant understand

 Whenever you fall as low as you as you can go

 Ill be there to pick you up again

 

 Always, you will get older

 These trials will make you stronger

 Able to stand with the rise and fall of tides

 But you will never be able

 To accomplish all on your table

 As long as you walk with no one by your side

 Open up your eyes and see

 Ill be there for in your time of need
