They say the snow came early that winter, that year. A little foundling child on the Sister's stairs. But don't pity me, I'm the lucky one: Oh, can't you see, that's where songs come from. That's where songs come from; that's where steel is forged, For it's in the fire that the blade is born. I'a sole survivor, I'm a fatherless son, But that's ok, that's where songs come from. I've got more scars an' bruises than any boy should, At the hands of a man: said it was for my own good. But that ain't nothin' like the damage you've done: Yeah, you broke my heart, but that's where songs come from. That's where songs come from; that's where steel is forged, For it's in the fire that the blade is born. I'a sole survivor, I'm a fatherless son, But that's ok, that's where songs come from. Instrumental Break. That's where songs come from; that's where steel is forged, For it's in the fire that the blade is born. I'a sole survivor, I'm a fatherless son, But that's ok, that's where songs come from. Yeah, that's ok, that's where songs come from. Instrumental close.
