all my life been holding on to nothing
all my hopes were castles in the sand
i've read words with no comprehension
i've had dreams i don't understand
here i am falling down
all i want is a comforting hand

giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
don't let go i'm making that change for you

time goes on to help you find the answers
why you're alive and where you go
life goes on but you don't stop to wonder
what there is that you still don't know
here i am growing old
i've got to hold that comforting hand

giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
don't let go i'm making that change for you
