How Can I Go On (Alternative Version)

When all the salt is taken from the sea

I stand dethroned, I'm naked and I bleed

But when your finger points so savagely

Is anybody there to believe in me

To hear my plea and take care of me?

How can I go on, from day to day?

Who can make me strong in every way?

Where can I be safe, where can I belong

In this great big world of sadness?

How can I forget those beautiful dreams that we shared?

They're lost and they're nowhere to be found

How can I go on?

Sometimes I seem to tremble in the dark, I cannot see

When people frighten me

I try to hide myself so far from the crowd

Is anybody there to comfort me? (on and on, and on, and on, precious Lord, hear my plea, yeah)

Lord, take care of me

How can I go on (How can I go on)

From day to day (From day to day)

Who can make me strong (Who can make me strong)

In every way (In every way)

Where can I be safe (Where can I be safe)

Where can I belong (Where can I belong)

In this great big world of sadness

(In this great big world of sadness)

How can I forget (How can I forget)

Those beautiful dreams that we shared

(Those beautiful dreams that we shared)

They're lost and they're nowhere to be found

How can I go on?

How can I go on? How can I go on? Go on, go on, go on

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
