I'm waiting for you
For I'm broken down
Coming down this time
For my heart lies
Far and away where they took you down
Let them over to your house
Where I'm broken
Down by the people if they let you breathe
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Still my heart beats, for you
Have become, all I love
And all I hoped for
But I, must carry on
Always one
Never broken
Run to the lobby where I saw you try
Don't give a damn for your reasons why

Where sophie's down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll lead them over to your eyes
Woah, I am one
I am one
Pray, story eye
Peace and love
In a future
Bright, sacrifice
Came around, never broken
Down by the people if they let you breathe
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Traveling a street that I did not go
Lifetime to the winter load
Down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll lead them over to your eyes
Woah, I am one
Woah, I am one
I am one
