Take This Pain Away

Is there still light on the horizon or has darkness fallen for eternity? All around me shapes and shadows but nothing solid that I can see I need something to hold on to, a lifeline to bind me to reality To stop me slipping deeper to places not even God can see Not even God can see If you can't give me love, if you can't give me love What's life worth living for? Why bother at all? When your back's up against the wall Raise both your hands and say Can someone take this pain away? Please take my pain away This is not the end of reason But the birth of a harsh new dawn Some say you can't control your fortunes, but I say false hopes forlorn My breath is laboured feet are seared by burning coals As I walk through battlefields strewn with tears, and the cries of tortured souls Pray for the souls! If you can't give me love, if you can't give me love What's life worth living for? Why bother at all? When your back's up against the wall Raise both your hands and say Can someone take this pain away? Please take my pain away Respect is earned, pride is foolish Leave conceit to the damned Walk a path of your own making Leaving footprints in the sand If you can't give me love, if you can't give me love What's life worth living for? Why bother at all? When your back's up against the wall Raise both your hands and say Can someone take this pain away? Please take my pain away Can someone take this pain away? Can someone take this pain away? Can someone take this pain away? Or is pain destined to stay? Can someone please take this pain away? Please take my pain away
