lyrics

look out your window; there's a city's on fire. if you could just know, every moment you're at home, the ashes keep on getting higher. but i'll let you go. take your time and i'll remind you you're lucky to be breathing while the bodies sleeping on roads will never stop their dreaming. // i'll believe in you if you'll believe in me. together we can make the change, as small as it may seem. together we can build a home where everyone can feel sad and mad and happy. and one day we will be … // alive and well, with smiles on all our faces. out of the shells that kept us in our places. we've got a story to tell but when we speak our heartbeat races. someday we'll be alive and well, you and i. // turn off the tv set. get out of the room and start doing something ’bout all these people you've never met. it seems so strange to humans that there's more of us outside these walls. fall into your debt; always paying your life back for the lessons you've avoided just so you'd get your happy, sappy endings, but never really new beginnings for some else. // i'll believe in you. will you believe in me? can we make a difference? it’s a possibility – far too big to build a home where everyone can feel sad and mad and happy because we’ll never be … // alive and well, with smiles on all our faces. out of the shells that kept us in our places. we've got a story to tell but when we speak our heartbeat races. someday we'll be alive and well, you and i. // children crying – why is no one listening? i said there's children dying, someone please start trying! why is no one listening? aren't we supposed to do something? // alive and well, with smiles on all our faces. until we’re out of the shells that kept us in our places. we've got a story to tell but when we speak our heartbeat races. someday we'll be alive and well, you and i.
