While We're Up - Little Words lyrics

rate me

Little words said on the back of the bus

From the little voices rolling softly off little tongues

Whispering of a time that there was

When every lost hope and dream were brighter things untouched by the dust

These are words of good intentions

What if we could start over?

The parents give warning to their daughters and sons

With the smoke and the fears burning quickly inside their lungs

Oh listen to each other like we should've done

Dry your tears, open your eyes, and run, oh baby run

This is a song of good intentions

What if we could start over?

The world is not ours to keep

We borrow it from the ones we leave behind

And when we're lost to darkened sleep

What will our children have to remind them...

Of who we were?

As we think of ourselves, and not of them

We're losing it all again

As time's arrow marches through our skin

We can relight the fire within

We'll think of ourselves by thinking of them

And regain it all again.

As time's arrow marches through our skin

We can relight the fire within...

We can relight the fire within...
