About the Song

Do you ever feel the bite of the wolves that haunt the night?
Oh Oh
Do you ever hate the sting of feeling everything?
Oh Oh

Cross your heart & hope to die, look that monster in the eye
Hold on lightning
Don't close your eyes when it's frightening
Let that thunder grow
Through the ages you open up all the cages and
Hold that spirit., hold that spirit close

Have you ever felt alone in the shadow of your home?
Oh Oh
Have you ever felt like you could fall & slip right through?
Oh Oh
