(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
The snow is falling
Shimmering lights burning
But in my heart is a cold lonely night
Whispers of laughter in the air
I'm wasted, so I won't tell
A prayer for the weary, no matter the cost
Who will sing for the poor
When the world closes its door?
Who will pray for the weak
When silence is all we speak?
For those who stand alone
With a heart heavy as stone
For the weak and hungry and wild
Those who stand alone
In the sadness of it all
It's so us, the small want to fall
But all I know is agony and emptiness inside
In my life, in my life
When the world turns away
All I feel is pain
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on through the night
When everything turns black
There is no turning back
Give me the strength to hold on
Hold on through the night
Who will sing for the poor
When the world closes its door?
Who will pray for the weak
When silence is all we speak?
For those who stand alone
With a heart heavily as stone
For the weak and hungry and wild
Those who stand alone
Crowded streets
All faces turning away in shame
In this silent, silent night
For the broken we will fight
When the world turns away
All I feel is pain
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on through the night
Who will sing for the poor
When the world closes its door?
Who will pray for the week
When silence is all we speak?
For those who stand alone
With a heart heavy as stone
For the weak and hungry and wild
Those who stand alone
(Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
