They say the snow came early that winter, that year. 

A little foundling child on the Sister's stairs. 

But don't pity me, I'm the lucky one: 

Oh, can't you see, that's where songs come from. 



That's where songs come from; that's where steel is forged, 

For it's in the fire that the blade is born. 

I'a sole survivor, I'm a fatherless son, 

But that's ok, that's where songs come from. 



I've got more scars an' bruises than any boy should, 

At the hands of a man: said it was for my own good. 

But that ain't nothin' like the damage you've done: 

Yeah, you broke my heart, but that's where songs come from. 



That's where songs come from; that's where steel is forged, 

For it's in the fire that the blade is born. 

I'a sole survivor, I'm a fatherless son, 

But that's ok, that's where songs come from.

Yeah, that's ok, that's where songs come from.
