I heard the news today that another soldier tumbled
A fragile warrior slipped and fell from grace
The vultures swooped to tear his heart and pin him to the ground
And from the shadows someone took his place.
Today we talk amongst ourselves, we never bought his words
We say we've seen the madness in his eyes
Tomorrow he's forgotten as we've scrubbed him from our hearts
And as he bleeds we slowly turn our eyes.
But it could've been me
I could've been the one to lose my grip and fall
It could've been me
The one who's always standing tall
For unless you hold me tightly, Lord, and I can hold on too
Then tomorrow in the news it could be me, it could be me.
And in our hearts we fear the ones whose lives are like our own
Whose shadows dance like demons in our minds
We think to push them far away, we exercise our souls
We make them play the tune for all mankind.
Today we talk amongst ourselves, we never bought their words
We say we've seen the madness in their eyes
Tomorrow they're forgotten as we've scrubbed them from our hearts
And as they bleed we slowly turn our eyes.
But it could've been me
I could've been the one to lose my grip and fall
It could've been me
The one who's always standing tall
For unless you hold me tightly, Lord, and I can hold on too
Then tomorrow in the news it could be me, it could be me.
But I believe there is a place where we can run and hide
When we know that we can't stand for one more day
And I believe You're waiting, Lord, to hold me very close
For You know without Your love I'd lose my way.
And it could've been me
I could've been the one to lose my grip and fall
It could've been me
The one who's always standing tall
For unless you hold me tightly, Lord, and I can hold on too
Then tomorrow in the news it could be me, it could be me.
