Alicia Keys - Us lyrics

Sometimes I'm beaten Sometimes I'm broken 'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke Is there a secret? Is there a code? Can we make it better? 'Cause I'm losing hope Tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how could I believe in something I believe in us After the wreckage After the dust I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush Over the riots Above all the noise Through all the worry, I still hear your voice So, tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how ‘cause I believe in something I believe in us Tell me when the light goes out That even in the dark we will find a way out Tell me now 'cause I believe in something I believe in us Used to be kids living just for kicks In cinema seats, learning how to kiss Running through streets that were painted gold We never believed we'd grow up like this So tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me now 'cause I believe in something I believe in us Tell me when the light goes out That even in the dark we can find a way out Tell me now 'cause I believe in something I believe in us I believe in something I believe in us I believe in something I believe in us
