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 forget 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
