There's a place where you can go Where the earth stops slowly spinning And the axis falls away To an old beginning From the shores of dame marie To the corners of the tossed away All the faces where the strain Of yesterday And you feel the weight of sorrow While the sun beats on your face And you hold onto the hope of a better day All the sweat and all the bruises Are the markings of true love And you find you're never alive Till you give, you give your life away So you find yourself in love With the children of disaster But the light shines through the cracks And you're still hoping And the earth starts spinning again When you give your life away
