My soul gives way again, crushed by the wind
Like a fair-weathered friend
Ashes turn to ash and dust to dust

All that is gold does not shine
All that is strong does not die
All who are lost, wandering by
All who are lost, shine a light
Follow me

I’ve always been told, it ain’t what you know
That gets your heart broke
It’s what you know for sure, just ain’t so

All that is gold does not shine
All that is strong does not die
All who are lost, wandering by
All who are lost, shine a light
Follow me

My soul gives way again, crushed by my sin
The scars on my skin, ashes turn to ash
Dust to dust
