when all the salt is taken from the sea
I stand dethroned
I'm naked and I bleed
but when your finger points so savagely
is anybody there to believe in me
to hear my plea and take care of me

how can I go on
from day to day
who can make me strong in every way
where can I be safe
where can I belong
in this great big world of sadness
how can I forget
those beautiful dreams that we shared
they're lost and they're no where to be found
how can I go on

sometimes I tremble in the dark
I cannot see
when people frighten me
I try to hide myself so far from the crowd
is anybody there comfort me
Lord... take care of me

how can I go on
from day to day
who can make me strong in every way
where can I be safe
where can I belong
in this great big world of sadness
how can I forget
those beautiful dreams that we shared
they're lost and they're no where to be found
how can I go on
