lyrics
Fire tears at skin and bone.
Like the river carves the stone.
Shaped by demons meant to grind us whole.
Lost and tired tryin’ to find our role.
Wretched times take their toll on me.
All’s to do is let the soul run free.
Always knew the night would turn to day.
Hard to trust your gut to know the way.
CHORUS
So you raise your head, walk on by.
See as the weaker ones break and cry.
Lift a hand for your fellow man,
or watch as humanity rots and dies.
Lift your boots up off the ground,
or else the dirt will drag you down.
Always keep on reachin’ for the sky.
Rosie eyes can cure the blind.
There’s too much love left to find.
Busted soldiers wounded by the fight.
Broken spirits mended by the light.
CHORUS
Like the river carves the stone.
Shaped by demons meant to grind us whole.
Lost and tired tryin’ to find our role.
Wretched times take their toll on me.
All’s to do is let the soul run free.
Always knew the night would turn to day.
Hard to trust your gut to know the way.
CHORUS
So you raise your head, walk on by.
See as the weaker ones break and cry.
Lift a hand for your fellow man,
or watch as humanity rots and dies.
Lift your boots up off the ground,
or else the dirt will drag you down.
Always keep on reachin’ for the sky.
Rosie eyes can cure the blind.
There’s too much love left to find.
Busted soldiers wounded by the fight.
Broken spirits mended by the light.
CHORUS
