A Day in Verse Lyrics

Album: The Edge

I walk alone - endless seas of souls around me

His face it told - of the mad existence of a silent story

And just how they took him, they tore a free soul down... didn't leave a trace

And how he sat and faced it - didn't make a sound... I watched in silence as

Tears fell like rain

The world went insane around him

All those times I wondered where we were going then

Out here it never changed

Unlock these chains that bind me

Oh the world why is it so hard to understand

She looks out - from high above the dark and cold streets

There in her room - She waits in riches for something to happen

Money can't heal her, the hole she feels inside... one step closer

Staring into God's eyes she says her last goodbyes... then she jumps to the cure as

Tears fell like rain

Eyes filled with sadness I see

A world in struggle for its very soul

And the preachers they all pray

Looking for some salvation

I can't see how we made it through yesterday

Tears fall like rain

Those childlike hopes of being happy

Seem overshadowed by a distant cry

Salvation never came

To those of us who saw the story

We must always close our eyes and look the other way

Passive pretense, killing license, witnesses sworn to silence

Was it meant to be this way

Losing, falling, Satan's calling, threatening your one and only

Drowning in your own sorrow wasting away'

All my fears they are calling

And this lonely life, I'm condemned to live

It can be your home forever

Losing patience, warring nations, drug infested correlation

Is it the life you feel

Victim's silence, caring violence, doctor assisted suicide and here you

Are sitting wasting away

All my fears they are calling

And this world upon my screen

It will be my home forever

They speak again, one last time he spoke the words

I'll be there - just close your eyes, remember always

Then there was a silence

Where the dream went here... it was over them

Another love gone - Another heart to heal

Hold yours forever and...

Tears fall like rain

Worlds apart they sit and wonder

How things could get so wrong when they were fine

This world it seems insane

All these dreams are left behind them

Does it matter where or why anyway

It will be okay

Things will be all right tomorrow

After all we made it through yesterday
