Pain Was All You Knew

When soldiers spoil your dreams
and riders steal your time
When the lion goes out
pain was all you knew
Like animals in the Zoo


When shadows take you by the hand
and mist is on your land
Hold on to your mind
Some see the Messiah coming back
Got to get it right
give me back my sight
