Topic: It's in the way that you use it

[Jahn]

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.

And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.

Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.

No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.

I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.

It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.

[Jahn]

Holy mother, where are you?
Tonight i feel broken in two.
I've seen the stars fall from the sky.
Holy mother, can't keep from crying.

Oh i need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night.
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again.

Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow i know you're still there.
Send me please some peace of mind;
Take away this pain.

I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait any longer.
I can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait for you.

Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
All i need is a hand to hold.

Oh i feel the end has come,
No longer my legs will run.
You know i would rather be
In your arms tonight.

When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, i fade away.
Holy mother, then i'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms.
