Lyrics:
Cheering crowds lined the streets
Children's laughter, turned to screams
As chaos fell like bitter rain
Crashing thunder filled with violent hate

Oh, there's clarity with time
But when darkness clouds my eyes

I don't have a song for that
When the words just disappear
I don't know what's going on
No, it's not that I don't care
But sometimes in this crazy world
There's just no way to explain
When it goes wrong
I don't have a song to play for that
When it all goes wrong
I don't have song to play for that

At the grave of a cherished friend
Another life too young to end
And though I smile at the memories
Sounds of hallelujah
Can't dry the tears they leave

There's clarity with time
But when sadness clouds my eyes

Chorus

I've been tested, I've been hurt
I've seen the trials of this world
Ooh, ooh
There's a fire in my chest
There's still so much left unsaid
But I've got nothing left that I can say

Chorus
