Song Lyrics

"Let Us Love Des Moines IA 5 15 10"

by NEEDTOBREATHE
Album: Live Horses EP

We were born to embrace, not accept it
We were given nothing more, and so we kept it
As the colors of our boots keep fading
We live a life that we hate without saying

Who would listen to the cries of a poor man
We've never done nothing
How could we be something
Every heart has an hour of existence
Every breath brings a chance for redemption
If somehow we could wake up

LET US LOVE (LIKE WE WERE CHILDREN)
MAKE US FEEL (LIKE WE'RE STILL LIVING)
IN A WORLD I KNOW THAT'S BURNING TO THE GROUND
GIVE US TIME (TO BEAT THE SYSTEM)
MAKE US FIND (WHAT WE'VE BEEN MISSING)
IN A WORLD I KNOW THAT'S BURNING TO THE GROUND

In the crowd of the dead and disappointed
We're ashamed, giving up on what we wanted
Take a chance on a long shot this time
Aren't we all just at least worth another try

I'm a king in a land of abuses
Undermined by the promise of excuses
Who's to win if we know that it's not fair'
Who's to fight when it seems that no one cares'
If somehow we could wake up

It's hard to stay here, but where do we go'
I know we can't feel it anymore
It's true that time is wearing us down
We fall further and further away
Waiting for always to change

Leave your hurting on the road behind you
Let the wind go with you 'til the morning comes
Yeah your sorrow, it can't save you
It won't answer for what you've done
