As long as these wheels keep on turning; as long as we are still alive; and even if all this can’t last forever; I will always be right here by your side. By your side; by your side. As long as we still remember; as long as we still can use our inner eyes; we can fight everything; that comes towards us; we can walk our way side by side. Side by side; side by side; side by side. As long as these wheels keep on turning; as long as we are still alive; and even if all this can’t last forever; I will always be right here by your side. By your side; by your side; by your side.

It seems like all that is left from you is a stone but it’s not like all the others; no yours, yours is made of gold and it shines through all the trousers (of the people walking by); and your name that is written on it for us to never forget; and though I walk by every day and I’d love to I can’t remember your name. Every day that is passing by it seems harder not to forget you; though we have to force ourselves to remind us ‘bout everything that has been done to you. Most of you are older than eighty now and it’s sad truth but soon you’ll all be gone; but who’ll be telling us what happened back then? who’ll be speaking up against what’s happening now? but I wanna tell you that we carry you in our hearts and even though our faces are different we’ll try to speak your voice; and I know that our experiences, they cannot be the same; but I wanna tell you that your struggle will prevail! Every day that is passing by it seems harder not to forget you; though we have to force ourselves to remind us ‘bout everything that has been done to you.

All the lights are out; all our friends are gone; now we’re all on our own; now it’s time to go home. It is long, long past midnight; the road is white no other cars in sight; snowflakes are dancing on the windshield; make it hard to keep my mind on the street. Embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with all that you’ve got and bring me back home; embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with everything that you’ve got and bring me back home. This highway’s a prison and it seems to never let me go; the actors are taking the stage again but I ain’t willing to assume my role; that’s why I’m here, that’s why I’m comin’ home; home…; you are my home. Embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with all that you’ve got and bring me back home; embrace my soul and carry me home; love me with everything that you’ve got and bring me back home.

When you lose your keys in the snow you won’t hear them falling; when you lose mind in these days no one hears you calling; and even if you try to catch their eyes; they will look right through you; these are sad sad times. But darlin’ I am alright; yeah darlin’ I am alright; darlin’ I am alright; don’t you ‘bout me, I’m alright. Sometimes my heart feels like a time bomb; but with you in my arms it’s ticking slowly; sometimes I even forget about all that mess that is going on outsides; darling, those are the best of times. But darlin’ I am alright; yeah darlin’ I am alright; darlin’ I am alright; don’t you ‘bout me, I’m alright.

I've got a shopping bag full of hands of Asian children That will soothe me for the next few days But I know how it works that creepy feeling It is never really, never really gone Our laughter is too loud We just won't hear them screaming I've got a hand on my shoulder trying to tell me something But it's weak and its words are strange It's an easy to ignore far away whisper It is always there, I just don't hear it anymore.
