about

Words and music by Rick Shaw

lyrics

Stand in the ruins of your heart
Stand in the ruins of your heart
and the world will succumb - to the strength that you have shown
and I have to believe…
If you have it in you, then I have it in me

Stand in the ruins of your heart
Stand in the ruins of your heart
and it’s hard to move on
when everything seems wrong
And you have to believe
You are not alone
And you’ll never be alone…no, no, no

Taste not another bitter year
Face up to the loss that’ll never disappear
They say time…heals all wounds
But not for one who has left so soon
And I have to believe
If you found it in you, I can find it in me

It’s never over…
They’ve left, but are they ever really gone?
I wish could help you
I feel so goddamn helpless
I’ve never felt so helpless…
As I do now

Stand in the ruins of your heart
Stand in the ruins of your heart
and the world will succumb - to the strength that you have shown
and I have to believe…
If you have it in you, then I have it in me
And you have to believe
That you’ll never be alone
