The Tie That Binds

The sorrow of a friend
 From a long way we stand
 Grief is second hand
 I'll send my tears in a locket
 Amelia smiles under lights and wires
 Thorns for every flower
 We number every hour
 And live the days we are given
 Oh, the pain
 It makes you feel alive
 Oh, the broken heart is the tie that binds
 And I pray to God, these things will be made right
 Made right
 When the morning shines
 On tear stained eyes
 Oh, we shall overcome
 The Father gave the Son
 To break the curse we are under
 Oh, the pain that no man can escape
 Oh, the sting of death, the empty grave
 And I pray to God where comfort has no place
 No place
 When tired eyes look through the veil
 The colors are so pale, but we raise high the sail
 And call the winds to carry us home
 And call the winds to carry us home
