I sing to the lost
I sing to the broken and abused
And if they don't want to listen, I don't mind
I sing to the silence, but do you wanna hear my voice?
And when I sing my prayers will you jump for joy?

All my life I've been letting myself feel the burden of the world
You'll never keep me here

I saw the ghost of you
He told me what to do
He said: Don't ever cry
'Cause I'm right here by your side
I saw the ghost of you
He told me love was true
I never knew that I was keeping you alive

Into the shadows, it took me by surprise
So I sang you all the songs I've ever known
And if I were to see you again
Would you take me by the hand to the place I've never gone?

And all our lives we've been letting ourselves feel
The burden of the world
You'll never keep us here

I saw the ghost of you
He told me what to do
He said: Don't ever cry
'Cause I'm right here by your side
I saw the ghost of you
He told me love was true
I never knew that I was keeping you alive (was keeping you alive)

I sing to the lost
I sing to the broken and abused
And if they don't want to listen, I don't mind
We will be strong
We will fight on, we will fight on
We will be strong
We will fight on, we will fight on
I saw the ghost of you
He told me what to do
He said: Don't ever cry

I saw the ghost of you
He told me what to do
He said: Don't ever cry
'Cause I'm right here by your side
I saw the ghost of you
He told me love was true
I never knew that I was keeping you alive
