Lyrics

And so we sail towards the dawn, joining those who gently mourn for you

It's only because of you

Friends may come and friends may go, the only friend I need to know is you

It's only because of you

Mighty castles, lonely kings, hear the ragged children sing it's you

It's only because of you

He who smiles at lofty schemes, stems the tide of broken dreams is you

It's only because of you

And when the storms have died away, only truth will live to say it's you

It's only because of you

And when the darkness flies away, only love will shine to say it's true

It's only because of you
