Every morning, before the sun does rise 
He cries 
Then he wipes away his tears 
He'll have no fears 
And no one will know how hard he tries 

Every minute of every day 
She prays 
That she will be strong 
Enough to carry on 
But she fears she's wasting away 

It's a cold day in history 
One of the coldest of all time 
I'm so caught up with trying to stay warm 
I forgot to pay others any mind 

Every evening after the sun goes down 

He feels alone 
In his heart of hearts 
Soul of souls 
He wonders if he'll ever make it home 

Every hour of every night 
She lies awake thinking of all she's got to do 
Just to make it through 
Can she handle all that is at stake? 

It's a cold day in history 
One of the coldest of the year 
Can I hold you in my arms 
And help you forget the fear? 
Can I hold you in my arms 
And help you forget the fear?
