if old friends ain´t soothing no more
 they may have been cheating before
 you think there is nothing in store
 you got time on your hands, but what for?
 the shields [bad word] off after dark
 for troubled souls and broken hearts
 stand naked before the crowd

 if old songs ain´t soothing no more
 they may have been cheating before
 you think all that love´s out the door
 you got time on your hands, but what for?
 the shields [bad word] off after dark
 for troubled souls and broken hearts
 and all that you wanted to know

 under a clear blue sky
 no mountain high enough
 no matter what [bad word]  I´m gonna cheer you up
 we´re gonna rise
