how can we move on with all the scars that numb the soul? how can we just simply smile while half the world is going down?
(this time, going down, this time)
oh, if love is not enough this time what is left to cling to? while avidity just grows, the more we know the less we seem to care
all that we can do in this cold all that we can do in this emptiness (this emptiness) all that we can do in this life all that we can do is keep breathing now (keep breathing now)
all that we can do in this light all that we can do on this winding road (this winding road) all that we can do in this life all that we can do is keep going on (keep going on and on)
so many times we blindly throw away what has been given and even more times we surrender to the writing on the wall
(this time, it’s going down, this time)
and you and me holding a plain truth that change is no illusion but in the wake of circumstance we’ll walk on to where the story ends
all that we can do in this cold all that we can do in this emptiness (this emptiness) all that we can do in this life all that we can do is keep breathing now (keep breathing now)
all that we can do in this light all that we can do on this winding road (this winding road) all that we can do in this life all that we can do is keep going on, going on and on
