'Nothing'
You stair into a pair of broken eyes that
lost a Friend today, searching for some words
of comfort, something to take the pain away.
But they was nothing you could say...
You hold the hand of a dying Friend
until he's still and blue, maybe if he were
alive today his memories wouldn't still haunt you.
But there was nothing you could do...
You search through a pile of slandered corps
for anyone who might have survived,
they're only hope was for some freedom,
something you'd fight to provide.
But they was nothing left alive...
Nothing you could do, nothing you could say,
a soldiers pain is deep; the hurt never goes away.
Nothing left alive, nothing left to fight,
when a soldier cries, he cries with all his might,
cuz there's nothing...
You close your eyes and try to remember how
life used to be, trying to picture mama's face,
the kids all around the Christmas tree.
But there's nothing left to see...
You stand in a field of dead and maimed, the reality
so real, you can't cry cuz your hearts been broken
in a million pieces that will never heal.
You've got nothing left to feel...
They came back from a hell-filled war, dying to keep
us free, we laughed and scorned while digging a wound
so deep nobody could ever see.
That they had nothing left to be...
Nothing they can do, nothing they can say,
because they're pain is deep, the hurt never went away.
Nothing left alive, nothing left to fight, when a soldier
cries, he cries with all his might cuz there's nothing...
Nothing left but haunts, nothing left but hurt,
they've held dying Friends, as they're blood
runs in the dirt.
Nothing left but pain, nothing left but fear,
their worlds torn apart, there's a death for
every tear, cuz they've got nothing.
He's a man with a broken heart running from
the pain, searching a thrill of hope,
a Sunbeam shining through the rain.
He's a man without a name...
I'm someone who's never seen the hellish scenes
of war, I could never know how it feels and yet
what I know is so much more.
I there's hope behind the door...
I reached out and took his hand and told him
of god's love, he knows your hurt and he knows
your pain, his healing comes from up above.
Nothing stops his love...
Cuz there's...
Something you can hope, something you can
dream, you worlds torn apart but through God
you can redeem.
Something you can hold, something you can
dream, your heart may be broken but through
God you can redeem and that's something.
More than something.
More than something...
