&quot;The only true love I ever knew<br /> Was behind those downcast eyes<br /> The only comfort I ever felt<br /> Was during those long hours of loneliness<br /> When I felt for you<br /> I do believe<br /> Only innocence can save the world...&quot; -Ocean Soul

Holding on
To a life that you feel
Is not worth living
Take a look
The stormclouds do end
The sun will rise again

Take a hand
When life seems hopeless
And you want the end
Call the name of your angel
When you feel so helpless

Make a wish
For everything to get better
Life will be there
When you wake up in the morn
It will get better
Everything will be okay

I stand here today and hold your name high

Take a hand
Give hope to the hopeless
Love the loveless and save a life
Hold onto dreams
Dream for a better tomorrow
And never stop fighting
