With nothing to lose you'd waste away Obscure in exile They've witnessed the times You've gone astray Whose fault? now you're thinking... There's nothing to prove A message from the crowd To the shore... And it feels now Just like heaven's coming down Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground So strange are the ways, They all have changed Still life it stays the same A break from the past Could make it last Maybe just a little longer There's nothing to prove A message from the crowd To the shore... You surrender Love under will Rest assured you're adored And it feels now Just lie heaven's coming down Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground This time, no tears, Just one last chance to see you prove Stay strong, no fears There is a change that's Coming through Hold on my love Hold on...
