F
Cold is the water
                   A#
It freezes your already cold mind
                    F
Already cold, cold mind

F
And death is at your doorstep
                       A#
And it will steal your innocence
                            F
But it will not steal your substance

Chorus:
C                A#        F
But you are not alone in this
     A#          Dm        F
And you are not alone in this
    A#                D              F         Dm
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
           F
Hold your hand

And you are the mother
The mother of your baby child
The one to whom you gave life
And you have your choices
And these are what make man great
His ladder to the stars

Chorus

    A#  D   C   A#   F
And I will tell the night
A#   Dm    C    A#   F
Whisper, "Lose your sight"
    A#  Dm   C    A#  F    A#       F
But I can't move the mountains for you
