Can you live alone
And can you live in isolation
And what will you become
After you've closed all the doors
Mourning in the night
You've seen the face of your companion
Called forth in a dream
Lost as reality dawns
Turn and face the day
Another increment of aging
Shadows wax and wane
Still you have nothing to show
And still you feel at odds
With your beliefs and with your instincts
To perform the rite
How can you say you're a man
How could you father a child
Ready or not here I come...
I must be mad to think I can
Follow one course to make one choice
If I could, I'd stand tall in my place
Take you in my arms
Show you how much I feel for you
As it stands, I must fall on my knees
I'm a broken man
I have nothing to offer you now
Sifting through the hours
You’ve made the time now find
Your diamond
Clawing clay and sand
Certain you buried it here
Welcome to the world
You’ve cut the cord it's time for breathing
Sobbing at the shore
How can you say you're a man
How can you shoulder the cold
Ready or not here I come...
If I could, I'd fall down on my knees
Give you all I have
Show you how much I feel for you
as it stands, I must stand in my place
in the fading light
I have no one to turn to
Now it seems my own life has evaded me
Every dream I have killed, slashed,
Or shattered
And with you there will be no tomorrows
Evermore in my prized isolation
Now
