AOn Badd9the C♯mwind

If you are one of the homeless

May our thoughts be with you

If you are scared and alone

You know our thoughts are with you

If you are one of the fortunate ones

We all know it's lonely up there

We understand that nobody's got it made

So our thoughts are with you

Chorus

You see yourself as a leader

May my thoughts be with you

If you try to divide and conquer

We'll rise up against you

We know only the strong will survive

But the meek will inherit

So if you've got a coat of arms, oh friend

I suggest we wear it

Chorus
