There's a place where you can go
Where the earth stops slowly spinning
And the axis falls away
To an old beginning
From the shores of dame marie
To the corners of the tossed away
All the faces where the strain
Of yesterday

And you feel the weight of sorrow
While the sun beats on your face
And you hold onto the hope of a better day
All the sweat and all the bruises
Are the markings of true love

And you find you're never alive
Till you give, you give your life away

So you find yourself in love
With the children of disaster
But the light shines through the cracks
And you're still hoping

And the earth starts spinning again
When you give your life away
