they will run, they will fight
in the town, wartorn
we'll strive to defeat them
or be sent, sent away
shots ring out, fallen man
children cry to sleep
no more faith in mankind
just hate, greed and fear
as we march through the storms
need for shelter drives us on
we will be made to fear
the wanderers, the wanderers
the young man stands in front
hold his fear in close
back down, thought runs through him
freezing veins, cold as ice
from across the deepest sea
sister weeps, mother mourns
they can't bear to worry
their young boy may be dead
chorus
purple hearts made of gold
don't mean much to me
go on, keep your medals
stained in blood, worn in vain
heard the voice inside my head
circulates through every vein
take my hand and show me the way
show me there's another day
i need oxygen to breathe
all the air i need to see
i need oxygen to feel
set me free, grab hold of me
fire burns inside of me
wandering through all eternity
am i here or am i there
your love has become my air
running but i don't know where
lost inside a forest maze
someone help me i'm alone
let me out i want to leave
chorus
losing sense of where i am
every breath so sacred
i'm afraid i'm here to die
here to die, no one to love
chorus, bridge
a rainbow appears in the mist
like a new energy to me
the drops falling down on my head
won't you please go away today
could it possibly that my lover won't be arriving
oh why can't this rain suddenly disappear for me
the rain coming down like my tears
wishing you would come home to me
like a wall keeping us far apart
two hearts cry out in sync in sadness
oh it never fails when i'm hoping my lov's approaching
i'll never believe why it always must rain on Wednesday
the cars passing by on the street
i can only hope one is you
the rain taps at my windowpane
falls down like clear cars, woe is me
could it possibly be that today i'll be left alone now
oh why can't this rain suddenly disappear for me
chorus, bridge
could it possibly be that you're standing outside my door now
could it possibly be this rain brought you right here to me
chorus 2x
