Look at this man, what didn't he have ?
What led him down this treacherous path ?
Watching his life slip through his hands
Once in a while he understands
That's when the wild winds blow
That's when the pain won't go
Lost in a crowded room where no one seems to care
And when the night steals sleep
There is a longing deep
Within the heart a cry, will someone still be there ?
Do I see you ? Could I see me ?
Holding on to just a memory
There was a home and a family
Now that it's gone, what is to be ?
That's when the wild winds blow
That's when the pain won't go
Lost in a crowded room where no one seems to care
And when the night steals sleep
There is a longing deep
Within the heart a cry, will someone still be there ?
This poor man cried unto the Lord
This poor man cried and he was heard
Do I see you ? Do you see me ?
In the face of this man or just too blind to see
That's when the wild winds blow
That's when the pain won't go
Lost in a crowded room where no one seems to care
And when the night steals sleep
There is a longing deep
Within the heart a cry, will someone still be there ?
Still be there
Still be there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
Still be there
