Oh father, can you hear me calling? I'm so cold inside I've broken all the pieces, I fear I'm losing life It doesn't seem so long ago that I held it all in hand The pictures of my future I'm now a broken man I've drifted to a place in time where no one really cares I'm lost among the faces, these masks that we all wear I thought I knew the answers to the kingdom of the mind I've taken all my chances and finished last in line And I've fallen, yes I've fallen Searching for my heart, my soul, for a friend when I grow old To find my hope, my dreams, my life and what it means Without my heart, my soul, there's no reason to grow old Oh no, don't let me fade away Like a child when he faces danger, he only knows to run Should I wait for the queen of the clouds or her setting sun? A distant sign from the hand of a wiseman? If you can hear my pleas, save me now from a fate of despair Lord I'm on my knees Because I've fallen, yes I've fallen Searching for my heart, my soul, for a friend when I grow old To find my hope, my dreams, my life and what it means Without my heart, my soul, there's no reason to grow old Oh no, don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away because I'm searching Searching for my heart, my soul, for a friend when I grow old To find my hope, my dreams, my life and what it means Without my heart, my soul, there's no reason to grow old Oh no, don't let me fade away I'm just a prisoner of my own prophecies Locked in a hollow world I only see what I want to see I wander this path alone It's the only live that I've ever known Oh no, don't let me fade away
