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 a 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 the land of abuses
Undetermined by the promise of excuses
Who would 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
*

I know lyrics to a song are cliche, but I am in a needtobreathe muse-well I have been ever since I found out about them a year or so ago.
Some may not like their sound, but I'm sure most can relate to the lyrics.
Once I really, actually listened to this song I had to share it.
I hope you can see what I see.
