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
Weve 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 were still living
In a world I know thats burning to the ground
Give us time
To beat the system
Make us find
What weve been missing
In a world I know thats burning to the ground
In the crowd of the dead and disappointed
Were ashamed, giving up on what we wanted
Take a chance on a long shot this time
Arent we all just at least worth another try
Im a king in a land of abuses
Undermined by the promise of excuses
Whos to win if we know that its not fair
Whos to fight when it seems that no one cares
If somehow we could wake up
Let us love
Like we were children
Make us feel
Like were still living
In a world I know thats burning to the ground
Give us time
To beat the system
Make us find
What weve been missing
In a world I know thats burning to the ground
Its hard to stay here, but where do we go
I know we cant feel it anymore
Its true that time is wearing us down
We fall further and further away
Waiting for always to change
Let us love
Like we were children
Make us feel
Like were still living
In a world I know thats burning to the ground
Leave your hurting on the road behind you
Let the wind go with you til the morning comes
Yeah your sorrow, it cant save you
It wont answer for what youve done
