Since the dawn of time, when all of life began And then came man Some were born to live and others born to die Did you wonder why? How could we ever let you down, after all the words you've said? And your thoughts are spinning on and on and on and on in my head How could we ever walk away to only break your heart? Can we take it from the start? I said hey, I've got something to say Would you walk close beside me? Could you show me the way? And I said hey, I've got something to say Could I stand in your shadow, as you draw me your way? When the sun sheds light and others choose to be blind Does it cross your mind? How could you set them free, when all they want is pain? Are we insane? How could we ever let you down, after all the words you've said? And your thoughts are spinning on and on and on and on in my head How could we ever walk away, to only break your heart? Can we take it from the start? I said hey, I've got something to say Would you walk close beside me? Could you show me the way? And I said hey, I've got something to say Could I stand in your shadow, as you draw me your way? It's time to surrender all we've been given Your secrets locked inside, the good or the bad The choices we had, your mystery can't hide And I said hey, I've got something to say Would you walk close beside me? Could you show me the way? And I said hey, I've got something to say Could I stand in your shadow, as you draw me your way? Cover me, cover me in your shadow Draw me in, draw me closer and closer and closer
