Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts

Hello, dear friends
And gentle hearts
My mind can't be free
Please say a prayer for me

All I know is someday
There'll be no pain
And you stood your ground
But how long can you be beaten down?

But that's one more broken hand
From punching at the walls
I'll stare into the sun
'Till I can't see at all

Oh, I can't see at all
Oh, I can't see at all
And that's one more broken man just crumpled on the floor
Dear friends and gentle hearts

In our own way, we all turn our face from this ugly place
But who'll keep a fight with this endless night?
It makes me think ain't it the gentlest hearts that
Take up the drink?

But that's one more broken hand
From punching at the walls
I'll stare into the sun
'Till I can't see at all

Oh, I can't see at all
Oh, I can't see at all
And that's one more broken man just crumpled on the floor
Dear friends and gentle hearts

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't see at all
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't see at all
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't see at all

Oh, I can't see at all
Oh, I can't see at all
And that's one more broken man just crumpled on the floor
Dear friends and gentle hearts
