When desperation calls your name And all the world seems astray A pounding heart, a troubled mind Hang your head and wonder why When your hope in life is gone All that was right now is wrong Don't give up and don't give in Lay down your burdens you've got a friend Every man must stand alone Through this life which were thrown Pray there is one who will stand by you Open your heart and let the love flow through Pride and fear are not your friends You'll ride them down till the end Take a closer look at your own hands It's up to you no one else can Have no shame if you can Though they'll try to kill your stand No matter what they say or do Follow your heart and see right through Open your heart and see right through
