AYou came to me C#mwith fire inside
DYour movements Aand your pride
AAnd asking to be C#mrescued from
DThe pain Ayou had become
AI tore apart G#mthe prison and I Ahid you in my H7hand
AIn the blue light of Christmas-time, DSanta Claus was Akind
I wonder if you'll ever grow
Oh far enough to throw
Away the lies of no and yes
And love my quietness
Or will you only freeze and frown and lose what you have found?
In the white light of Easter seas'n will you live again?
Today the coin is in the air
And we are here and there
And where and when have caught us in
The web of violence
I pray to all the world as one that day will bring the sun
In the scarlet light of Valentine's our paper hearts are blind
