"Let Us Love" lyrics - NEEDTOBREATHE

We were born to embrace, not accept it
We were given nothin' more, and so we kept it
As the colors of our boots keep fadin'
We live a life that we hate without sayin'
Who would listen to the cries of a poor man?
We've never done nothin'
How could we be somethin'?
Every heart has an hour of existence
Every breath brings a chance for redemption

[Pre-Chorus:]
If somehow we could wake up

[Chorus:]
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, givin' 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
If somehow we could wake up

[Chorus:]
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 burnin' to the ground

[Bridge:]
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 wearin' us down
We fall further and further away
Waitin' for always to change

[Chorus:]
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

[Guitar solo]

[Outro:]
Leave your hurtin' on the road behind you
Let the wind go with you till the morning comes
Yeah, your sorrow, no, it can't save you
It won't answer for what you've done
