[00:18.663]Oh when you close your eyes
[00:21.485]There's a frightened pride that lives for you
[00:27.883]That your mother's life
[00:30.440]Your father's eyes can't hide
[00:36.919]You had no choice
[00:39.561]Didn't ask the dice to fall for you
[00:45.890]Still your courage comes
[00:48.571]Like thunder through the skies
[00:52.972]
[00:54.427]You're always the winner
[00:58.812]The victor and the giver
[01:03.456]Somewhere through that winter
[01:07.674]You will not grow old
[01:11.707]
[01:22.441]So you carry time
[01:24.997]Down the tortured line where mysteries show
[01:31.473]Well hidden from
[01:34.095]Life's learned and life's wise
[01:40.554]Man's useless ways
[01:43.242]Worthless conversation
[01:49.668]Lie well exposed
[01:52.469]And humbled in your smile
[01:57.216]
[01:58.181]You're always the winner
[02:02.493]The victor and the giver
[02:07.333]Somewhere through that winter
[02:11.679]You'll never be alone
[02:16.331]For evermore the winner
[02:20.786]The taker and the giver
[02:25.527]Somewhere through that winter
[02:29.578]You will not grow old
[02:34.380]
[02:49.130]Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls
[02:53.881]A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
[02:58.388]We'll search every reason wherever we roam
[03:02.736]Find a place for these broken hearts and bones
[03:09.500]We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summer's gone
[03:18.472]And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home
[03:27.211]
[03:31.394]You're always the winner
[03:35.875]The victor and the giver
[03:40.588]Somewhere through that winter
[03:44.927]You'll never be alone
[03:49.617]For evermore the winner
[03:53.987]The taker and the giver
[03:58.759]Somewhere through that winter
[04:02.923]You will not grow old
[04:07.225]
[04:07.844]You're always the winner
[04:12.246]The victor and the giver
[04:17.017]Somewhere through that winter
[04:21.337]You'll never be alone
[04:26.068]For evermore the winner
[04:30.459]The taker and the giver
[04:35.183]Somewhere through that winter
[04:39.405]You will not grow old
