War is all around I'm growing tired to fighting I've been drained and I can't hide it But I have strength for you, you're all that's real anymore I am coming home now, I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone States are crumbling, and walls are rising high again It's no place for the faint hearted But my heart is strong 'cause now I know where I belong It's you and I against the world And we are free From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We've gone against the tide All we have is each other now I am coming home now I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone
