Open your eyes and show me what's inside  Let me explain these shuffling feet and tired arms  Do up your coat to protect yourself  From what has been in the end of all things    Let the wind blow across your face  In a sea of smiles you were the only one in tears  So they came to lighten my load  And they were singing,   What was it for? (Repeated)    So look around  Mostly the view is beautiful  But there's more than just fingertips  So in this room separated from the world  I'd sell you my own values for the sake of others  So hold this glass cos' it keeps cutting me  Try to focus on the image of a good guy  Try not to cry. And I'm singing..  What was it for? (Repeated)
