Lyrics

A man who knows
A love that grows
Over time
Overflows

Is better than
The lesser man
Who lets this love
Escape from his hands

So I'll carry my cross
Through the flame and the frost
I'll do it all
For the love that I've lost
The love that I've lost
Today

So soldier on
Go find the one
Who makes you laugh
And makes you warm

But lets you in
To his darkest sins
But proves himself
And your will to forgive

But I buried your trust
Turned your blood into rust
But through it all
I'll never leave us
I'll never leave us
Again

So here we lay
No words to say
They're spoken now
In other ways

But love remains
The thing unchanged
The sacrifice
Of pleasure for pain

So I'll lay me down
Throw my shield to the ground
I pray the love I lost will be found
I lost will be found
Someday
