Only You

[Refrain]
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being alive a little while
Of being alive a little while
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being a little while
Of being a little while
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being a little while
Of being a little while

[Verse 1]
You saw her light cast on the shore
And hope proved growth through grief
To find a better one
To provide a better one
But she soaked the wick that once had lit
The golden door
To be now a kind of barrier
A reminder of where you were

[Chorus]
Was it the dream?
Did you rely
On the elite
To supply your right to carry on
To only be left in the dark
There wasn't a grain
Left at the feet
Of her gates when you arrived that day
Ain't it oh so familiar
To dream of a day with her?

[Refrain]
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being alive a little while
Of being alive a little while
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being a little while
Of being a little while

[Verse 2]
You pulled from your own sacred well
Your father’s father’s fathers built
To find it run dry
You prayed and knelt before a host
Of radicals kind of like those on the other side

[Chorus]
Was it a dream
Did you rely
On the elite
To supply your right to carry on
To only be left in the dark
There wasn’t a grain
Left at the feet
Of her gates when you arrived that day
Ain't it oh so familiar
To dream of a day with her?

[Refrain]
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being alive a little while
Of being alive a little while
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being alive a little while
Of being alive a little while
Only you, can help me to forget
The terror of being alive a little while
Of being alive a little while
