Steel Serenade

(oooh) I see the cracks in the city lights

Hidden greed in the broad daylight Hands reach out,

then they close too fast

Building pain on a broken past Cold words spread like a morning

fire Blind ambition fuels the wire

But every shadow needs the dawn And every harsh night wears out

and’s gone

I know the storm can shake the ground

I know the weight can drag us down

Still every rise begins with a fall

And even hard times answer to call

The worst will fade

And dreams won't stay (ahhhh)

I’ve seen the lies in the polished room Smiles sold cheap and

hearts consumed Promises bent for a selfish gain

Turning trust into rust and chain Still the river keeps on finding

sea Still the locked door can learn to leave

What they build in fear won’t last Every cruel hour moves on

past

I know the storm can shake the ground I know the weight

can drag us down

Still every rise begins with a fall

And even hard times answer to call

When the noise gets loud,

I breathe and stand

I won’t let despair define my land

What they made to break,

we learn to mend

And what begins in darkness meets its end

(yeah, louder!)

The worst will fade

And dreams won't stay (ahhhh) (hmmm)
