You wish you were dreaming
Cause then you could wake
Up from this endless screaming
The pain's more than you can take
The battlefield's lifeless, smoke swirls around
Tattered, broken remnants of standards you've cast down

When all seems lost, it's then that all is found

It's the battle hymn of a lonely heart in need
Emptiness that brings you broken to your knees
If you're tired of the war raging within
And you're ready to give in
It's time you realize all you really need
Is him

Your armor's tarnished, weakened
Seams hanging by a thread
Fragile hope is fleeting
Feel you're better off just dead
Instead simply surrender, wave that white flag high
He'll come to your rescue, carry you out alive

When all seems lost, it's then that all is found

He is a love song for the broken hearted
An outstretched hand to the downcast on their knees
He is a cry of hope for those who feel helpless
If you've lost your way, he says, "Come back to me."
