What's the story
Why these tears
Where's the glory
What happened to "no fears"
What happened to "no worries"
Is this what we hoped to build
Is this our great achievement
Is it where we placed our skills

We come empty handed
And we're leaving with no more
Still we count our offerings
Building mansions to store
These shivering hands will
Hide me for a while
We can be no heroes
But we can walk this mile

Chasing wind
Chasing tails
Who will win
What prevails
What happened to "I love you"
What happened to "I care"
What happened to the heroes
Why is everybody scared

We come empty handed
And we're leaving with no more
Still we count our offerings
Building mansions to store
These shivering hands will
Hide me for a while
We can be no heroes
But we can walk this mile
