I know you've got some pain to share, like anybody else around
Each one of us a cross to bare, and then some day you may drown
Each one of us a cross to bear, and then someday you may drown
This trouble in your heart will run away, do all you've got to do
Within your sacrifice for your soul is in chains, how could you fly?
Don't give up and do not cry
When those demons get you
I'll be yours 'til the end of time
Please, believe me when I say you'll be fine
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
The circumstances are so unfair
Some days you walk on shaky ground
The trouble man is always there
For every moment you go down
You can no longer hide
Or run away, do all you've got to do
Your sorrow's over now
Around your wounds, begin your peace of mind
Don't give up and do not cry
When those demons get you
I'll be yours 'til the end of time
Please, believe me when I say you'll be fine
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, be fine
When I say you'll be fine
Please, believe me when I say you'll be fine
Ooh-ooh-ooh
