And you didn't
know how
And you didn't
know why
But you knew t
hat you wanted
to take her h
ome
You saw her al
one there, aga
inst the sky
It was like sh
e was someone
You'd always k
nown
It was like yo
u were holding
the world whe
n you held her
Like yours wer
e the arms tha
t the whole wo
rld was in
And there were
no words for
the way that y
ou felt
So you opened
your mouth
And you starte
d to sing:

And what has b
ecome of the h
eart of that m
an
Now that the m
an is king?
What has becom
e of the heart
of that man
Now that he ha
s
Everything?
The more he ha
s,
The more he ho
lds
The greater th
e weight of th
e world on his
shoulders
See how he lab
ors beneath th
at load
Afraid to look
up, and afrai
d to let go
So he keeps hi
s head low, he
keeps his bac
k bending
He's grown so
afraid that he
'll lose what
he owns
But what he do
esn't know is
that what he's
defending
N.C.
Is already gone
Where is the t
reasure inside
of your chest
?
Where is your
pleasure? Wher
e is your yout
h?
Where is the m
an with his ar
ms outstretche
d?
To the woman h
e loves
With nothing t
o lose
