lyrics

You say the universe is in the palm of your hand,

For the fortunate ones it slips away like a grain of sand.

Life is pain and your heaven is now,

Take back the sky tonight or walk beside them in hell.



We took the fall for the ones that tore us down before,

They weaved their vines through my veins then they walked away,

I am that I am, you are god with me,

We have opened our eyes, the truth has set us free.



Let's find a beautiful place to get lost,

Let's take this road back to the start.



They say the secrets of our past are best left unsaid,

In a way we were born to be left for dead.

Life is pain and your heaven is now,

Take back the sky tonight or walk beside them in hell.



We took the fall for the ones that tore us down before,

They weaved their vines through my veins then they walked away,

I am that I am, you are god with me,

We have opened our eyes, the truth has set us free.



If I could find my way to where this all began,

Then I could find a way to take you by the hand,

To lead you out of here and build a kingdom of love,

Because it's what we deserve and it is what we are made of.



Let's find a beautiful place to get lost,

Let's take this road back to the start.

I know there's hope somewhere for us,

Open your eyes, open your heart.
