The Cave

1. It's empty in the valley of your heart

The sun, it rises slowly as you walk

Am

Away from all the fears

And all the faults you've left behind

2. The harvest left no food for you to eat

You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

But I have seen the same

I know the shame in your defeat

R: But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

3. Cause I have other things to fill my time

You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth

Which will refresh my broken mind

4. So tie me to a post and block my ears

I can see widows and orphans through my tears

I know my call despite my faults

And despite my growing fears

R: But I will hold on hope...

And I'll find strength in pain...

5. So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand

R: So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be

R: But I will hold on hope...

And I'll find strength in pain...
