Lyrics This Is - Aslan

These are the hands of a tired man
This is the old man's shroud
These are the eyes of the blood crazed tiger
Staring at the maddening crowd

This is the face of a teenage mother
This is the child she bears
This is the soul of her broken lover
Searching for the smiles they shared

These are the feet of the punished pilgrim
And in his book of punished love
You see his eyes
You see no surprise
Waiting for a lie that's true

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
Yeah you stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
Wasting your life away

These are the dreams of a sleeping father
And in his long lost days
He sees a child
He sees his eyes
Waiting for the price he's paid

These are the tears of a fallen idol
And in his smile of shattered love
You see his eyes
You see no surprise
You just see lights then realise

Everybody hits you with this feeling
Nobody seems to understand
You stop, you look
You're searching for the meaning
Wasting your life away

Oh here with you (everybody hits you)
There's no one here like you (everybody knocks you down)
And no one moves but you (everybody hits you)
Nobody touches like you (everybody knocks you down)
You (everybody knocks you down)
And nobody moves like you
But everybody hits you
Everybody knocks you down

These are the feet of a punished pilgrim
And to this book he prays
You see his eyes
You see no surprise
You just see lights then realise

(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)
And everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)
And everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

(Everybody hits you) with this feeling
(Everybody knocks you down) you stop, you look, you're searching
You stop, you look, you stop, you look, you're searching
Everybody hits you (you're searching)
For a meaning
You stop, you look, you're searching
And everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down
Everybody hits you
Everybody knocks you down
(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)

Everybody hits you
Everybody knocks you down
You stop, you look, you're searching
For a meaning
Everybody hits you
And everybody knocks you down

(Everybody hits you)
(Everybody knocks you down)
Knocks you down, knocks you
Everybody hits you
Everybody knocks you down, knock you down
