Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul, my soul
Can you brave the worst of my love?
Be the ones who testify, not the ones who've given up?
If you wait till stars align, you miss the cry
For history does not bend or ever break towards you and I
Can you save me from what I've become?
I waste my time, I waste any good of kingdom come
When the painted dark arrives, I come to find
We're not learning how to live, we're just learning how to die
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul, my soul
Can you brave the worst of my love?
Be the ones who testify, not the ones who've given up?
If you wait till stars align, you miss the cry
For history does not bend or ever break towards you and I
Can you save me from what I've become?
I waste my time, I waste any good of kingdom come
When the painted dark arrives, I come to find
We're not learning how to live, we're just learning how to die
