The minister steps right over him from theatre to the car
His colleague thinks the outstretched hand is one offence too far
Whatever happened to make this place, the only place called home?
The loneliness that burns so deep, the friends who never come
The shadow in the doorway barely moves
Denied the right to security
Days can turn to endless years
As empty as
As empty as
As empty as eternity, yeah
One day the dreams inside his head
The warmth of love on a winter's night
Long summer days of laughter
May turn his darkness
Turn his darkness
Turn his darkness into light
