Sandi Thom - Pink and the Lily lyrics

Street lights ablaze and the air is so dry There's a cat in my bucket smoke covers the sky And the sound of the traffic keeps me from my dreams Like one million soldiers just shuffled their feet The heat of the night is one that I can't escape So I listen to the underground rumble and shake There's something so beautiful being alive When your young wild and free And just trying to survive. So hold me I believe every word that you told me And every last line that you sold me I'll love you for the rest of my life Take me turn me around and you'll make me Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight. Freedoms a luxury taken in vain It's hard to find justice and fight for a change Cos there's so many people that cannot be heard Their thoughts and their feelings just kicked to the curb I may not be old and I may not be wise But I call upon those with a chance in this life Climb to the rooftops and open your eyes Cos your young wild and free and just trying to survive. So hold me I believe every word that you told me And every last line that you sold me I'll love you for the rest of my life Take me turn me around and you'll make me Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight. Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight. Follow the footsteps you gave me In the Pink and the Lily tonight.
