Lyrics

If you're looking for a fighter who'll defend you
And love you for your freedom. I'm your man
And I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doing
But don't ask me to lend a helping hand

You were such a pretty dream as I remember
You were young and strong and god was on your side
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
And you traded your compassion for your pride

But I still believe in all that we believed in
And I pray to god that you will in the end
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting
And be the loving beauty that you can

But I still believe in all that we believed in
And I pray to god that you will in the end
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wasting
And be the loving beauty that you can
