You stand alone every day of this ride
You think it's daunting, baby, trust in a lie
You make a move and you will pay if it's wrong
But still we're moving on
Some fold their hands and then just do as they please
Some close their eyes and then it puts them at ease
Some do a little wrong to prove they are right
Meanwhile the rest moves by
When the dark comes alive
And it's here to stay
All the angels will cry, cry, cry
While they fade away
And while we try
Dry your eyes and watch it pass by
Stand your ground and let the rest walk their ways
Up until the day you will see it coming
And though we try
All the wrong will never turn right
Always count yourself when you place the blame
Up until the day you will see them runnin' away
And they will cry
Cry, cry, cry
I stand alone but never walk by myself
I read the books and put them back in the shelf
I take it in but never pass it along
And still I'm moving on
When I'm on my last mile
Sure would love to stay
I give them all just that one last smile
While it fades away
And while we try
Dry your eyes and watch it pass by
Stand your ground and let the rest walk their ways
Up until the day you will see it coming
And though we try
All the wrong will never turn right
Always count yourself when you place the blame
Up until the day you will see them running away
And they will all cry
