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
