Midnight, moonlight

The wind blows off Saint Clair

I'm stuck at a red light

Waiting at 6th mile in Delaware

The sound of a distant firebird

The echo of a rhyme, Smokey's words

An absence, sweet absence

Fills the freezing air

I've been wayside for years now

And no one seems to care

Their eyes on the distant horizon

I drove them out of here

I gave you the American dream

And the music for your movie scene

But you left me bleeding

So listen to my prayer

So listen to my prayer

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

But you can never take my soul

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams

You can crack my stones and melt my steel

But you can never take my soul

You can never take my soul

You can never take my soul
