Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A mountain of stone, a door of steel
Can't stand in my way, I'd go on
Brutal machines, unbending laws
Can't slow me down, I'd go on
[Verse 2]
I've learned how to deal and when to fight
I know what's real, I know what's right
I'm not afraid, the wounded dove
I can be tender in a world so tough
[Verse 3]
I'm sure I could face the bitter cold
But life without you? I don't know (I don't know)
[Verse 4]
The winds of the heart can blow me down
But I get right up and I stand my ground
I've tasted fear, my share of pain
The wasted tears of love in vain
I've held you tight, pushed you away
Now with all my might, I beg you to stay
[Verse 5]
I'm sure I could face the bitter cold
But life without you? I don't know (I don't know)
[Verse 6]
Know what I want, I know what I need
But there's just one thing I must believe
Deep in the night, by a dying flame
You will be there when I call your name
[Verse 7]
I'm sure I could face the bitter cold
But life without you? I don't know (I don't know)
[Verse 8]
I don't know, I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, I don't know, don't know (I don't know)
(I don't know) I don't know, don't know
(I don't know)
(I don't know)
(I don't know)
