Blue skies went in the trees
And birds carry our song
On a crowded street of refugees
In the city full of laws
Everyone is searching for a light, a valid cause
Cutting throats and taking notes from those who move along
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
Broken hearts, dirty streets
From dreams of shining lights
Reality kills confidence here almost every night
Burning woods carry the fire
Gunshots, they grow close
The terrified and cowardly
Gave up long ago
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
We must work hard
And fight to make our way
And shelter those we love
From what come in someday
We live by the sword and we die
We"ll breathe by the ocean and cry
We"ll stand up and carry the weight of the world
For ourselves and loved ones to thrive
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
We must work hard
And fight to make our way
And shelter those we love
From what come in someday
And birds carry our song
On a crowded street of refugees
In the city full of laws
Everyone is searching for a light, a valid cause
Cutting throats and taking notes from those who move along
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
Broken hearts, dirty streets
From dreams of shining lights
Reality kills confidence here almost every night
Burning woods carry the fire
Gunshots, they grow close
The terrified and cowardly
Gave up long ago
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
We must work hard
And fight to make our way
And shelter those we love
From what come in someday
We live by the sword and we die
We"ll breathe by the ocean and cry
We"ll stand up and carry the weight of the world
For ourselves and loved ones to thrive
We must have faith
To dire times won"t change
If we give in to pain
Or drown ourselves in rain
We must work hard
And fight to make our way
And shelter those we love
From what come in someday
