Needtobreathe - Let Us Love lyrics

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 the 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 a land of abuses Undermined by the promise of excuses Whos to win if we know that its not fair Whos to fight when it seems that no one cares 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 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 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 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
