This Is

These are the hands of a tired man
This is the old man's shroud
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
Staring at the maddening crowd
This is the face of a teenage mother
This is the child she bears
This is the soul of her broken lover
Searching for the smiles they shared
These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
And in his book of punished love
You see his eyes, you see no surprise
Waiting for a lie that's true

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
(Wasting your life away)

These are the dreams of a sleeping father
And in his long lost days
He sees a child
He sees his eyes
Waiting for the price he's paid
These are the tears of a fallen idol
And in his smile of shattered love
You see his eyes
You see no surprise
You just see lights then realise

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
(Wasting your life away)

Oh here with you
There's no one here like you
And no one moves like you
Nobody touches like you

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning

(Everybody hits you with this feeling)
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

('Cause everyone is searching for a meaning)
You stop you look you're searching
You stop you look you're searching

(Everybody hits you with this feeling)
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

('Cause everyone is searching for a meaning)
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down
