VERSE:
                   
Fight the fight alone
                   
When the world is full of victims
                   
Dims a fading light
                          
In our souls
                   
Leave the peace alone
                   
How we all are slowly changing
                   
Dims a fading light
                          
In our Souls
 
                  
PRE-CHORUS:
                       
In my opinion seeing is to know
                   
the things we hold
                   
are always first to go
                   
and who’s to say
                   
we won’t end up alone
 
                  
CHORUS:
                    
On broken wings I’m falling
                /   
and it won’t be long
                  
The skin on me is burning
                    
By the fires of the sun
                     
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
                /   
and it won’t be long
                      
I’ve got to find that meaning
                   
I’ll search for so long

,   2x 
                  
VERSE:
                   
Cry ourselves to sleep
                   
We will sleep alone forever
                   
Will you lay me down
                   
In the same place with all I love
                   
Mend the broken homes
                   
Care for them
                   
they are our brothers
                           
Save the fading light in our souls
                   
                       
In my opinion seeing is to know
                   
What you give
                   
will always carry you
                   
And who’s to say
                  
we won’t survive it too
                   

CHORUS:
                    
On broken wings I’m falling
                /   
and it won’t be long
                  
The skin on me is burning
                    
By the fires of the sun
                     
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
                /   
and it won’t be long
                      
I’ve got to find that meaning
                   
I’ll search for so long   
                   

                   
Set 
                   
free all
                   
Relying on their will
                    
to make me all that I am
                  
and all that I’ll be
                   
Set 
                   
free all
                   
Will fall between the cracks
                          
with memories of all that I am
                   
and all that I’ll be
                   

CHORUS:
                    
On broken wings I’m falling
                /   
and it won’t be long
                  
The skin on me is burning
                    
By the fires of the sun
                     
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
                /   
and it won’t be long
                      
I’ve got to find that meaning
                   
I’ll search for so long
