These rivers run too deep

With schemes of men for days that lay ahead

They sell their souls so cheapThey breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread

When did the boy become a man

And lose his life to learn?

So much confusion to this plan

These times are not changing

Show me the love to keep us together

Open up your hearts, don′t turn me away

Comfort me through this stormy weather

From where I stand, I see a broken land

This boy has learned to fail

In times like these to cry seems so absurd

His own life's crises pale

In the shadow of this truly dying world

These are the games we played at school

Our hands raised in despair

With no exception to the rule

These times are not changing

Show me the love to keep us together

Open up your hearts, don′t turn me away

Comfort me through this stormy weather

From where I stand, I see a broken land

Where is the love to keep us together?

Open up your hearts, don't turn me away

Comfort me through this stormy weather

From where I stand, I see a broken land
