Disillusion

I've watched you from a distance

All your secrets locked away for none to know

And your beauty hasn't faded

Though the day that we first met was long ago

Have the years been kind

Or did you let all your beliefs

Fall by the wayside

And did you keep your faith and pride

Or did you cast it all away

When the light died

I've watched winter melt around you

But the chill clings to the air when the wind blows

And the spring time brings no solace

As the hours slip beneath the undertow

And did you hide your face and cry

When all your dreams were buried in the landslide

Or did you hold your head up high

As your hopes were torn asunder from the inside

And when fear and doubt

Are dragging you down

chorus

Where do you run to when the light dies

And your dreams have washed away

Where do you go to when the rain falls

At the break of day

I'll give you shelter from the deluge

With the hope I've found

I'll lift you up and keep you safe

On higher ground

So let your tears flow

And when sorrow seeks to drown you

And your grief threatens to drag you below

I'll catch you if you slide

And take you to a place where we can both hide

Where at least we'll say we tried

And we suffered through the terrors

On the outside

And when fear and doubt

Are dragging you down

chorus
