“This was a very challenging theme to get hold of. Jack and I had a couple of writing sessions where we tossed ideas around, but nothing seemed to be working for us. We kept coming back around to the idea that love can restore some semblance of calm, provide comfort from the chaos and give you the energy to go out and fight to change the world. The song came together after that and our musicians did a great job of capturing the tension between the stress of chaos
and the restorative power of love.”

Well, the world has gone off crazy
So much I can't understand
Fire, flood, disaster
And man killing man
If I could close my eyes or shut the door
You know I'd do it if I could
This tilting at windmills
Doesn't do me any good

I can't sleep to the cries of hunger
I can't hide from the bomb's killing thunder
My eyes cannot unsee
This sadness that follows me
When the darkness closes in
Take me in your arms and then
Hold me, Until It All Makes Sense Again

In dreams the seeds of wisdom
Grow straight and strong and tall
There's shelter from the chaos
And compassion for us all
Maybe it's too much to hope for
But when I have you by my side
The power of your love turns back
This unrelenting tide

I can't sleep to the cries of hunger
I can't hide from the bomb's killing thunder
My eyes cannot unsee
This sadness that follows me
When the darkness closes in
Take me in your arms and then
Hold me, Until It All Makes Sense Again
