Didn’t we have a lot of fun
From the shadows to the evening sun
Coming down heavy coming down at last
thousands of pictures calling me from the past
Feels so heavy at the bottom of the glass
It came to easy and we blew it too fast

With riches from our kingdom
we can run all night
With power as our expression we can fight
Outside the gates of wisdom
The truth we spend
We sing our songs of love and hope ‘till the end

From a whisper to a silent scream
From the scriptures to a broken dream
Coming down heavy coming down still
Gone from the crossroads to the bottom of the well
Feels so heavy gone on too long
No one can help you when you can’t see right from wrong

With riches from our kingdom
we can run all night
With power as our expression we can fight
Outside the gates of wisdom
The truth we spend
We sing our songs of freedom ‘till the end

We live in hope in hope we share
The hope in every childhood prayer
from hand to mouth and friend to friend
We built our strength before the fall
Now fear makes cowards of us all
our prayers unanswered in the end

With riches from our kingdom
we can run all night
With power as our expression we can fight
Outside the gates of wisdom
The truth we spend
We sing our songs of freedom ‘till the end
