Lyrics

When you can’t see the trees for the rock and the roll,
And you need something more just to fill up your soul,
And you turn and you’re waving, a final goodbye to your youth.

When you can’t find a path through the doubts in your head,
And you search for the way just to put them to bed,
And you’re looking around just to settle the score with the truth.

Open wide,
Alleluia,
There aint too much left in this world,
They haven’t done to you,
Closing down,
No one to defend you,
Holding on,
Or the devil will mend you.

When you’re walking around and you’ve nowhere to go,
And you’re look up and down and there’s no one you know,
And you fall to the ground as you pray that the Lord takes your soul.

When you can’t face the day and you can’t get it right,
And you search for a way just to get through the night,
With another twelve rounds of the truth as you fight for the light.

Open wide,
Alleluia,
There aint too much left in this world,
They haven’t done to you,
Closing down,
No one to defend you,
Holding on,
Or the devil will mend you.
