Oh, when you close your eyes
There's a frightened pride
That lives for you
That your mother's life
And your father's eyes can't hide
You had no choice
Didn't ask the dice to fall for you
Still your courage comes
Like thunder through the skies
You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll not grow old
So you carry time
Down the tortured line
Where mysteries show
Well hidden from life's
Learned and life's wise
Mans useless ways
And worthless conversation
Lie well exposed
And humbled in your smile
You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old
Still you run out in the morning
With the boys and the girls
The miracle of innocence
On a head of curls
We'll search every reason
Wherever we roam
To find a place for these broken
Hearts and bones
We'll keep a fire on the hillsides
After the summer's gone
And we'll wait here
Till the war-wounded come home
You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old
You're always the winner
The victor and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You'll never be alone
For evermore the winner
The taker and the giver
Somewhere through that winter
You will not grow old
