If you're lookin' for a fighter who'll defend you,
And love you for your freedom. I'm your man.
I ain't gonna leave you for the crazy things you're doin'.
But don't ask me to lend a helpin' hand.

You were such a pretty dream as I remember.
You were young and strong and God was on your side.
But the vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes,
You traded your compassion for your pride.

But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wastin',
And be the lovin' beauty that you can.

[Instrumental break.]

But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
And you'll see the golden chances that you're wastin',
And be the lovin' beauty that you can.
